Delicious Ginger Beef Recipe for a Flavorful Meal

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 pound flank steak (thinly sliced)
  • 1 cup cornstarch (for coating)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1 cup ginger (fresh, minced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 cup bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1 cup onion (sliced)
  • 2 scallions sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare the Beef

    Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain and coat with cornstarch.

    Ensure even coating for a crispy texture.
  2. Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

    Make sure the oil is hot before adding beef.
  3. Cook the Beef

    Add the coated beef to the skillet and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

    Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  4. Add Aromatics

    Stir in minced ginger and garlic, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

    Keep stirring to avoid burning.
  5. Make the Sauce

    In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Pour over the beef.

    Let it simmer for a few minutes to thicken.
  6. Add Vegetables

    Add sliced bell peppers and onions to the skillet, cooking until tender.

    Adjust cooking time based on desired vegetable crunchiness.
  7. Serve

    Garnish with sliced scallions and serve hot over rice or noodles.

    Pair with steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
