Easy and Flavorful Beef Stir-Fry: A Quick Weeknight Dinner

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper (red or green), sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Cooked rice (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine the sliced flank steak, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the meat evenly. Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: While the steak is marinating, slice the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic and ginger.
  3. Cook the Steak: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot. Add the marinated steak to the skillet in a single layer. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper, and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Combine and Season: Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and heat through for another 2 minutes.
  6. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot over cooked rice.
