How to Make 5 Spice Marinade For Stir Fry Or Steak Tips

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients until well combined.
  2. Add 1 pound of thinly sliced meat (such as beef, chicken, or pork for stir-fry) or 1 pound of steak tips to the marinade. Ensure the meat is evenly coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for optimal flavor.
  3. If using for stir-fry, remove meat from marinade, reserving the marinade. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meat and stir-fry until browned.
  4. Add your favorite chopped vegetables (e.g., broccoli, peppers, onions) to the wok and stir-fry until tender-crisp.
  5. Pour reserved marinade over the meat and vegetables, stirring to coat. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. If using for steak tips, remove meat from marinade and discard excess marinade. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill or sear the steak tips to your desired doneness, about 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
