Beef Stir Fry

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1Whisk the sauce ingredients except corn starch in a bowl. Set aside.
2. 2Trim any silverskin, connective tissue, or large bits of fat from the beef. Cut ¼-inch slices across the grain.
3. 3Season the beef with salt & pepper and toss with cornstarch. Set aside while you prepare the vegetables.
4. 4Cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
5. 5Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat in a wok or large skillet. Add half of the beef and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes (beef does not need to be cooked through). Transfer to a bowl and repeat with the remaining beef.
6. 6Add the vegetables to the skillet, adding more oil if needed, and cook until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the beef.
7. 7To make the sauce, reduce the heat to medium. Stir the sauce, pour it into the skillet, and bring to a simmer. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with 3 tablespoons water (or broth).
8. 8Gradually add the cornstarch slurry to the simmering sauce while whisking to reach the desired consistency, you may not use all of the cornstarch mixture. Let simmer for 2 minutes.
9. 9Add the vegetables and beef with any juices to the pan and cook until heated through. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
10. 10Serve with noodles or over rice.
