Description

Beef and Green Bean Stir-Fry is a quick and flavorful Asian-inspired dish featuring tender thinly sliced flank steak and crisp green beans tossed in a savory garlic soy and oyster sauce. This easy stir-fry comes together in just 20 minutes, making it a perfect weeknight dinner served over steamed rice or noodles.

Ingredients

Beef and Vegetables

  • 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup beef broth

Other

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and beef broth until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Beef: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook the Green Beans: In the same skillet, add the trimmed green beans and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger with the green beans, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Combine Beef and Sauce: Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and green beans mixture.
  6. Thicken the Sauce: Stir continuously and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce has thickened and evenly coats the beef and vegetables.
  7. Finish and Serve: Drizzle the stir-fry with sesame oil for added flavor. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Slice beef thinly against the grain to maximize tenderness.
  • Add red pepper flakes if you prefer a spicy kick.
  • Serve the stir-fry with steamed rice or your favorite noodles for a complete meal.
  • To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free soy sauce and oyster sauce alternatives.
