Why This Asian Sweet Ginger Beef Stir Fry is a Must-Try

The secret of this dish lies in its symphony of flavors: piquant ginger, sweet soy glaze, and the mellow heat of stir-fried aromatics all play their part. It’s customizable, nutritious, and ready in about 30 minutes. With crisp-tender veggies and succulent beef, it’s a mouthwatering, universally loved main—perfect whether you’re feeding a hungry family or entertaining guests.

Prepping Your Ingredients Like a Pro

Efficiency is key to any great stir fry. To save time and ensure even cooking, use a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper for dicing bell peppers, onions, and carrots. For tender beef strips, slice your sirloin or flank steak thinly against the grain using a sharp knife and a sturdy Bamboo Cutting Board Set. Prepping in advance keeps the high-heat stir fry process smooth and stress-free.

Mastering the Stir Fry Technique

Heat is your best friend here—use a reliable nonstick skillet like the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch to prevent sticking and ensure even browning. Add oil, swirl to coat, and stir-fry beef just until it’s barely pink before removing to a plate. Next, flash-cook your veggies to retain color and crunch, then add the aromatic ginger sauce and beef back in for the perfect finish.

Perfecting and Serving Your Ginger Beef Stir Fry

Once everything is tossed together and the sauce is bubbling, taste for seasoning and serve immediately. For quick portions on the go—or meal prep lunches—pack servings in a durable, leak-proof Bentgo Salad Container to stay fresh and portable. Pair with jasmine rice or tender noodles for a complete, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

12 oz flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain

1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
1 large red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 cup broccoli florets
1 medium carrot, julienned
1 small onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon cornstarch (for slurry)
Sesame seeds and sliced green onions, for garnish
Cooked jasmine rice or rice noodles, for serving

Instructions

  1. Pat steak dry and toss with 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside while prepping the vegetables using the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper for uniform pieces.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch over medium-high heat. Stir fry the beef in batches, 1-2 minutes per batch, until browned (do not overcrowd). Remove beef to a plate.
  3. Add the remaining oil to the pan. Stir fry bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and onion for 2-3 minutes until just crisp-tender.

In a separate small dish, mix 1 teaspoon cornstarch with a splash of water to make a slurry. Pour the soy mixture into the skillet, then quickly stir in the cornstarch slurry. Simmer until thickened and glossy, about 1 minute.
  6. Return beef and any juices to the pan, tossing to coat in the sauce. Heat through for 1 additional minute.
