Ingredients

Units Scale
For the beef marinade:
  • 1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
For the teriyaki sauce:
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha or other hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)
For the stir fry:
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 3 scallions, sliced (for garnish)
  • White rice, cooked (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the beef (10 minutes): In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef with soy sauce and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the beef evenly. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
  2. Prepare the teriyaki sauce (5 minutes): In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sriracha, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.
  3. Cook the beef (5 minutes): Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Stir fry the vegetables (5 minutes): In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced bell peppers and broccoli florets. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Combine and cook (5 minutes): Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the beef and vegetables. Stir to coat everything evenly. Add the cornstarch slurry and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  6. Serve (5 minutes): Divide the cooked white rice among serving plates. Top with the spicy teriyaki beef stir fry. Garnish with sliced scallions.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less sriracha. You can also add other vegetables like snap peas, carrots, or mushrooms to the stir fry for added variety.

This dish is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Pair this with...

Homemade Spring Rolls

Start by grabbing some spring roll wrappers; you'll find them at most Asian grocery stores. For the filling, combine finely shredded cabbage, julienned carrots, sliced green onions, minced garlic, a splash of soy sauce, and some cooked minced chicken or shrimp, if you fancy. Lay out a wrapper, place a tablespoon of filling near the bottom corner, fold the sides in and roll up. Seal the edge with a bit of water or egg wash. Now, heat some oil in a deep-fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Once hot, gently slide in the rolls, a few at a time, frying until golden and crispy, which is usually about 4-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels, serve with sweet chili or soy sauce, and enjoy the crunch!

Sea Salt Edamame

Begin with fresh or frozen edamame pods. If frozen, give them a quick rinse under cold water. Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil, toss in the edamame, and let them cook for a few minutes until they're tender and bright green. Drain the water and transfer the edamame to a serving bowl. While they're still hot and a tad steamy, sprinkle a generous pinch of coarse sea salt over them. The crystals will cling to the pods, giving them a delightful salty crunch. Serve immediately and enjoy the process of squeezing those succulent soybeans straight from the pods into your mouth.

Miso Ginger Salad

Start by preparing a mix of your favorite salad greens; think romaine, iceberg lettuce, or baby greens. Toss in sliced radishes, shredded carrots, and sliced cucumbers for that refreshing crunch. For the dressing, whisk together white miso paste, freshly grated ginger, a dash of soy sauce, a bit of rice vinegar, and some sesame oil. If you like a touch of sweetness, a drizzle of honey or agave nectar will do the trick. Blend until smooth, adjusting the consistency with a little water if needed. Drizzle this punchy dressing over your greens and give it a good toss. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds if desired.
