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.
