How to Make Beef And Veggie Five Spice Stir Fry

  1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the sliced beef, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and five-spice powder.
  2. Seal the bag, pressing out excess air, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 12 hours.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  4. Add half of the marinated beef to the skillet and stir-fry until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  5. Add the remaining beef to the skillet and stir-fry until browned and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  6. Add the sliced carrots, onion, peas, and corn to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, or until the onion is softened.
  7. Return the cooked beef to the skillet.
  8. Pour in 1 1/2 cans of beef broth and bring to a boil.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and the remaining 1/2 can of beef broth until smooth.
  10. Gradually pour the cornstarch slurry into the boiling skillet, stirring constantly until the sauce has thickened.
  11. Serve the Beef and Veggie Five-Spice Stir-Fry hot, over cooked brown rice (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
