Ingredients for Beef Stir Fry
Beef: The best beef for stir fry is either sirloin or flank steak because it is tasty, affordable, and easy to tenderize. Other cuts of beef such as chuck steak or ribeye can also be used. Veggies: Use whatever vegetables you have on hand, personal favorites are broccoli, snap peas, and bell peppers.
For the Stir-Fry Sauce
Ginger/Garlic: Freshly minced garlic and ginger add tons of flavor. Jarred minced garlic or ginger can be used in this recipe. Orange juice: Adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the sauce. Replace the oj with pineapple juice or apple juice. Soy sauce: Adds umami (savory flavor). Brown sugar: Adds a hint of sweetness. Use either light or dark brown sugar. Sesame oil: Adds a nutty flavor.
How to Make Beef Stir Fry
Tips for a Great Stir Fry
For easier slicing, place the beef in the freezer for 15 minutes before cutting. Prepare all ingredients ahead of time, as a stir fry comes together quickly. Don’t overcrowd the pan, or the beef won’t crisp. The meat, vegetables, and sauce can be prepared and stored separately for up to 48 hours before cooking.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Did you enjoy this Easy Beef Stir Fry? Leave a comment and a rating below! © SpendWithPennies.com.
