🔪 How to Make Stir Fry Beef
Add the broccoli to a microwave safe bowl and steam it in the microwave for 4-5 minutes. Drain and pat it dry, then set it aside. You can also boil it instead if you’d like, just be sure it’s well dried before adding it in later.
Add the liquid aminos, oyster sauce, toasted sesame oil and grated ginger to a small mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
Add the steak to a bowl and pour half the sauce over the top, then toss to combine. Leave at room temperature for 20 minutes. Take the other half of the sauce and whisk in the beef broth, then set it aside.
Heat a large skillet to medium-high and add in the avocado oil and the steak. Quickly sear on both sides, then remove when it’s almost cooked through and set it aside. It will finish cooking in the sauce.
Add in the mushrooms, red bell pepper, white parts of the scallions, shiitake mushrooms, salt and ground black pepper.
Sauté until almost tender, then add in the garlic and sauté for another 20 seconds, making sure not to brown it.
Add the meat back in, along with the broccoli, snow peas, and reserved sauce. Toss to combine and continue cooking until the meat is cooked through and the veggies are tender.
Stir in the green parts of the scallions, toss to combine and serve.
💡 Tips for Making Stir Fry
- Cut beef thinly: Slice the sirloin thinly against the grain for tender bites every time.
- Don’t overcook veggies: Keep the vegetables crisp by cooking them just until tender.
- Use a hot skillet: Heat the pan before adding oil to ensure a good sear on the beef.
- Prep ahead: Chop veggies and mix the sauce in advance to save time.
☑️ Storage Instructions
- Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: You can also freeze leftovers in a sealed container for up to 2 months; thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
🍴 What to Serve with Asian Beef Stir Fry
With tender veggies and steak, this stir-fry is a complete all-in-one. But if you're looking for a tasty side, you could serve them with a scoop of jasmine rice, some edamame, cauliflower rice, Creamy Cucumber Salad, or this Thai Cucumber Salad.
🔄 Substitutions and Additions
- Add bok choy: Toss in baby bok choy for a hint of crunch and added greens.
- Switch the protein: Try chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a different spin.
- Extra veggies: Include zucchini or carrots for more variety.
- Spicy kick: Add red pepper flakes or Sriracha for some heat.
- Gluten-free option: Swap soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
- Nutty twist: Stir in a splash of peanut butter for a creamy, nutty flavor.
Can I Use a Different Cut of Beef?
Yes, flank steak or even chicken works well if sirloin isn’t available.
Why is My Beef Tough?
If your beef seems to be tough, make sure to slice it thinly against the grain and try not to overcook it.
Can I Double the Sauce?
Absolutely! Extra sauce is great for drizzling over rice or veggies.
Can I Make Stir Fry in My Air Fryer?
While stir fry is traditionally made on the stovetop, you can air fry the beef and veggies separately and toss them in the sauce.
