Gather all your ingredients.

Slice the beef into thin strips. Ensure they’re even to cook uniformly.

Chop the vegetables as described. Uniformity is your friend here.

Note: Prepping everything before you start cooking is crucial. Stir frying is a fast process, and you won’t have time to chop as you go!

In a bowl, combine the beef, 1 tbsp soy sauce, cornstarch, and a bit of black pepper.

Mix well to coat all pieces and set aside for 10 minutes.

Fact: Marinating meat not only adds flavor but also helps tenderize it, making your beef stir fry melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

Heat your wok over high heat until it’s smoking slightly.

Add a splash of sesame oil to coat the bottom.

Warning: Always heat the wok before adding the oil. This helps prevent sticking and ensures your food cooks evenly.

Add the marinated beef to the hot wok.

Stir fry for about 2-3 minutes or until the beef is browned and nearly cooked through.

Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.

In the same wok, add another tsp of oil if needed.

Add garlic and ginger, sauté for about 30 seconds.

Toss in onions, bell peppers, and carrots. Stir fry for about 2 minutes.

Add broccoli and stir fry for an additional 2 minutes.

Return the beef to the wok.

Pour in the remaining soy sauce and oyster sauce.

Stir everything together and cook for another 2 minutes until everything is heated through and coated in sauce.

Note: Always taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Your beef stir fry should be a perfect balance of savory and slightly sweet.
