Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 2 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 lb beef, sliced thin
  2. 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots)
  3. 2 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce
  4. 1 tbsp sesame oil
  5. 1 clove garlic, minced
  6. 1 tsp ginger, minced
  7. Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 lb of thinly sliced beef, 2 cups of mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots), 2 tablespoons of gluten-free soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 clove of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of minced ginger, and salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Prepare your vegetables by washing and cutting them into bite-sized pieces. Ensure the bell peppers are sliced into strips, the broccoli is cut into florets, and the carrots are sliced thinly for even cooking.
  3. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to become hot but not smoking.
  4. Add the sliced beef to the skillet in a single layer. Let it sear for about 2-3 minutes without stirring, allowing it to develop a nice brown color.
  5. Once the beef is browned, stir it to cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until it is cooked through. Make sure the beef is no longer pink in the center.
  6. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet with the beef. Stir well to combine and cook for about 30 seconds, allowing the aromatics to become fragrant.
  7. Next, add the mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp. You want them to retain some crunch for texture.
  8. Pour in the 2 tablespoons of gluten-free soy sauce and stir well to coat the beef and vegetables evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as necessary based on your preference.
  10. Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove the skillet from the heat.
  11. Serve the stir fry hot, either on its own or over a bed of rice or gluten-free noodles, if desired. Enjoy your delicious gluten-free beef and veggie stir fry!

Tips

  1. Prep is Key: Slice your beef and chop vegetables before you start cooking. Stir-frying moves quickly, so having everything ready ensures perfect results.
  2. Get Your Wok or Skillet Smoking Hot: A high heat is crucial for achieving that signature stir-fry sear and preventing soggy vegetables.
  3. Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Cook beef and vegetables in batches if needed to maintain high heat and ensure proper browning.
  4. Cut Vegetables Uniformly: This guarantees even cooking and an attractive presentation.
  5. Use Gluten-Free Soy Sauce: Double-check the label to ensure it's certified gluten-free.
  6. Let the Beef Rest: Allow a brief searing time without moving it to develop a beautiful golden-brown crust.
  7. Keep Vegetables Crisp-Tender: Overcooking will make them mushy, so watch your cooking time carefully.
