How to Make Beef And Green Bean Stir Fry
- Prepare the vegetables: Seed, core, and thinly slice the red bell pepper. Trim the green beans.
- Stir-fry the beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the sliced beef and stir-fry until no longer pink (about 3 minutes). Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
- Sauté aromatics: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok. Add the minced garlic and ginger, salt, and pepper. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Steam the vegetables: Add the green beans and red pepper to the wok. Pour in 2 tablespoons of water, cover, and steam for 3 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Return the beef: Add the cooked beef and any accumulated juices back to the wok.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the beef stock, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and cornstarch until smooth.
- Combine and thicken: Pour the sauce into the wok. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy (about 1 minute).
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with sliced green onions. Serve hot over cooked spaghetti or vermicelli noodles.
