Ingredients
For the Beef Marinade
- 1 lb round steak, cut into strips
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
For the Stir-Fry
- 5 tablespoons salad oil (divided)
- ¼ lb mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 medium green pepper, diced
- 1½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ cup beef broth (or 1 bouillon cube dissolved in ½ cup hot water)
Instructions
-
Marinate the Beef: In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, sugar, ginger, and garlic. Add the beef strips and let them marinate for 15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
🍖 For extra flavor, consider marinating the beef for longer if you have time. It can soak up more of the sauce!
-
Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix together the cornstarch, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and sugar. Combine this mixture with the beef broth, and set aside.
-
Stir-Fry the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan over high heat. Add half of the marinated beef and stir-fry until browned. Remove the browned beef and set aside. Repeat with another tablespoon of oil and the remaining beef.
-
Cook the Vegetables: In the same pan, add 3 tablespoons of oil and heat. Add the mushrooms and diced onion, stir-frying for about 2 minutes. Then add the diced green pepper and stir-fry for another minute.
-
Combine Everything: Return the cooked beef to the pan along with the halved cherry tomatoes. Stir-fry everything together to heat through. Finally, pour in the prepared cooking sauce, mixing gently until the sauce thickens.
-
Serve: Serve hot, and enjoy with rice or noodles!
🌟 This dish is best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, they can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
Variations
- Vegetarian Twist: Substitute beef with tofu or tempeh for a hearty vegetarian option. Use vegetable broth instead of beef broth for extra flavor.
- Add More Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like snap peas, broccoli, or carrots for a colorful, nutrient-packed stir-fry.
- Spicy Kick: If you love heat, add some red pepper flakes or a splash of sriracha to the marinade.
