Description

Beef and Green Bean Stir-Fry is a quick and flavorful Asian-inspired dish featuring tenderly sliced flank steak and crisp green beans tossed in a savory garlic soy sauce. This easy stir-fry comes together in just 20 minutes, making it a perfect weeknight dinner to serve over steamed rice or noodles for a satisfying and wholesome meal.

Ingredients

Beef and Vegetables

  • 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup beef broth

Other

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and beef broth until smooth and set aside.
  2. Cook the beef: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef and sauté for 2–3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked through, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook the green beans: In the same skillet, add the green beans and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until they are tender-crisp, maintaining a slight crunch for texture.
  4. Add aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger with the green beans, cooking for about 1 minute to release their fragrant flavors.
  5. Combine beef and sauce: Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the green beans, then pour the prepared sauce over the mixture.
  6. Cook until thickened: Stir everything together and continue cooking for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the beef and green beans.
  7. Finish and serve: Drizzle the stir-fry with sesame oil for a nutty aroma, give it one last stir, and serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
  • Add red pepper flakes or chili paste if you prefer a bit of heat in the dish.
  • Serve this stir-fry with steamed rice or your favorite noodles for a complete meal.
  • Use gluten-free soy sauce to make this recipe suitable for a gluten-free diet.
