A savory and versatile stir-fry with tender beef slices, onions, garlic, and ginger, all perfectly balanced with soy sauce. Customize with your favorite vegetables, and serve over rice or noodles for a delicious, fulfilling meal!


Ingredients:

  • 500 g tender beef (sirloin, flank, or ribeye), thinly sliced
  • 2 medium yellow or white onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • Assorted vegetables (optional): bell peppers, broccoli, snow peas
  • Steamed rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions:

  1. Marinate the Beef:
  • In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch.
  • Add the sliced beef, toss to coat, and let it marinate for 30 minutes.
  1. Sauté the Onions:
  • Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
  • Add the sliced onions and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Push the onions to one side of the skillet.
  1. Stir-Fry the Beef:
  • In the same skillet, add the marinated beef and stir-fry over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
  1. Add Vegetables (Optional):
  • If using vegetables, add them to the skillet and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 2-3 minutes.
  1. Finish the Sauce:
  • Mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce with 2 tablespoons of water.
  • Pour the mixture into the skillet and stir for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  1. Serve:
  • Serve the stir-fry over steamed rice or noodles.
  • Garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor.

Notes:

  • Marinating the beef with soy sauce, garlic, and ginger ensures it’s tender and flavorful.
  • Vegetable options: Customize with your favorite vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or broccoli.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute soy sauce with tamari.
