Ingredients
Scale
1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup broccoli florets
1 bell pepper, sliced
1 carrot, julienned
2 green onions, chopped
Cooked white rice, for serving
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Add the sliced beef and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth. Set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add broccoli, bell pepper, and carrot. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the beef to the skillet and pour in the reserved marinade. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the cornstarch mixture. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Serve the beef teriyaki over cooked white rice and garnish with chopped green onions.
Notes
For a healthier option, substitute the white rice with cauliflower rice.
Add other vegetables like snap peas or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition.
