Beef Stir Fry Recipes

The beef stir fry recipes are quite versatile. You can pretty much use any vegetables that you like or you can buy frozen stir-fry veggie mix to save some time. I personally prefer the fresh vegetables but there were plenty of times when I was short on time and chose that particular short cut.

The same goes for stir fry sauce. You can make your own or you can choose from many different pre-made ones at the supermarket.

The following recipe will require some mixing, measuring and cutting but I hope you enjoy the end result!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb beef flank steak or sirloin, cut into thin strips
• 3 tbsp dry sherry
• 1/3 cup soya sauce
• 3 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp ginger
• 1 cup small broccoli florets
• 1 cup carrots, slices or strips
• ½ cup sliced mushrooms
• ½ cup onion
• 1 red pepper, diced
• ½ cup chicken or beef broth
• 2 tsp cornstarch
• Oil for stir-frying

Directions:

1. Combine sherry, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil and sugar. Add the beef, cover and marinade for at least an hour. The longer you marinade, the more tender the beef will be.

2. Drain the beef but save the marinade. Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Stir-fry the beef for couple of minutes or until cooked through. Remove from the pan. Add the veggies and stir fry until just starting to get tender.

3. Mix the broth with cornstarch and the saved marinade. Add it to the vegetables in the wok. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce starts to thicken, approximately 2-3 minutes. Return the beef to the wok and cook for another minute, stirring frequently- until heated through.

Serving Suggestions :

Serve over plain rice or oriental noodles.
