Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Beef and Vegetable Stir-Fry.
Step 1
To start your delicious stir-fry, grab a saucepan and bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once boiling, add in 2 cups of brown rice.
Step 3
Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 45 to 50 minutes.
Step 4
You’ll know it’s ready when the rice is tender and all the water has been absorbed, filling your kitchen with a warm, inviting aroma.
Step 5
While the rice is cooking, let’s whip up a flavorful sauce.
Step 6
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, 2 teaspoons of white sugar, 6 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1/4 cup of white wine.
Step 7
Mix it all together until it’s smooth and creamy.
Step 8
For an extra kick, stir in 1 tablespoon of minced fresh ginger.
Step 9
Now, take your beef strips and toss them in this delightful sauce, ensuring they’re evenly coated.
Step 10
Next, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 11
Once the oil is shimmering, add in your vibrant mix of broccoli, carrots, pea pods, and onion.
Step 12
Stir-fry these colorful veggies for about a minute, letting their flavors mingle.
Step 13
Then, introduce the water chestnuts, Chinese cabbage, and bok choy to the skillet.
Step 14
Cover the pan and let everything simmer for around 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.
Step 15
Once they’re ready, remove the veggies from the skillet and keep them warm while you cook the beef.
Step 16
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil and heat it up over medium-high heat.
Step 17
Now, it’s time for the beef! Add the marinated strips to the skillet and cook them, stirring frequently, until they reach your desired doneness.
Step 18
This should take about 2 minutes per side for a perfect medium.
Step 19
Once the beef is cooked to perfection, return the warm vegetables to the skillet.
Step 20
Give everything a good stir to combine and heat through, which should take about 3 minutes.
Step 21
The colors and aromas will be irresistible! Finally, serve your vibrant stir-fry over the fluffy brown rice you prepared earlier.
Step 22
Enjoy this delightful dish that’s not only satisfying but also packed with flavor and nutrition!.
