Korean Beef Stir Fry
Cook thinly sliced beef quickly at high heat and skip the marinating time without sacrificing tenderness or flavor with this short-cut Korean Beef Stir Fry recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. lean NY strip or sirloin steak
- 3 cloves garlic divided
- 3 green onions
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
- ¼ cup lower-sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons corn starch
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 ½ tablespoons canola oil
- 1 15 oz. can baby corn drained
- lo mein noodles or rice prepared per pkg. directions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- For stir fry recipes, always prep the ingredients before you begin cooking. First, thinly slice steak across the grain; set aside.
- Mince 1 clove garlic and place in a small prep bow. Thinly slice the white potion of the green onions and add to the garlic.
- Diagonally slice the green portion of the onions into 1/2-inch pieces and place in another prep bowl.
- Slice red bell pepper into thin slices (julienned) and place in a prep bowl; set aside.
- Drain baby corn and bean sprouts.
- For the sauce, in a small bowl stir together 2 tablespoons water and 2 teaspoons corn starch until smooth. Mince the other 2 cloves of garlic and add to the bowl along with brown sugar, sesame oil, mirin, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until combined; set aside.
- Add the canola oil to a wok or large cast iron skillet and warm on high heat until just the oil just begins to shimmer. Add the bowl of garlic and onion—it should sizzle immediately—and cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the beef and cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Next add the red bell pepper and cook another 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Last, add the drained baby corn and the sauce mixture. Cook and stir until thickened.
- Remove from heat and serve over lo mein noodles or rice and garnish with the remaining green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Notes
- While making the sauce and cooking the beef and veggies, have the noodles or rice cooking so it's ready for when you serve this delicious meal.
