How to Make Beef Stir Fry
- Marinate 1 lb beef strips in 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tsp black pepper for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the refrigerator for maximum flavor).
- Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated beef and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes per side, until browned.
- Remove beef from pan and set aside.
- Add 1 cup chopped onion, 1 red bell pepper (sliced), and 1 cup broccoli florets to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
- Pour in 1/4 cup beef broth, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch (mixed with 1 tablespoon water to create a slurry). Stir until the sauce thickens.
- Return the beef to the pan and toss to coat in the sauce.
- Serve the Beef Stir Fry hot over steamed rice. Garnish with sesame seeds (optional).
