Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by slicing your flank steak or sirloin into thin strips, about ¼ inch thick, against the grain for tenderness.
  2. Chop your bell peppers and broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fresh ginger, minced garlic, brown sugar, and cornstarch until combined.
  4. Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of vegetable oil.
  5. Add the sliced beef in a single layer, sear for 2-3 minutes until browned, then stir-fry for an additional minute.
  6. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
  7. In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil if necessary, and toss in the chopped bell peppers and broccoli.
  8. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
  9. Return the cooked beef to the pan, pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and toss to coat.
  10. Continue to cook on medium-high heat for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  11. Plate your Asian Sweet Ginger Beef Stir Fry over a bed of rice or noodles.
