Description

A bold and quick Asian-inspired stir-fry featuring tender beef strips, colorful vegetables, and a tangy orange-infused BBQ sauce. Perfect for a weeknight dinner bursting with flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • For the Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup Asian BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons orange marmalade
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the sliced beef with soy sauce and cornstarch. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the Asian BBQ sauce, orange marmalade, rice vinegar, orange zest, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and sear for 2 minutes per side until browned. Remove beef and set aside.
  4. In the same wok, add bell peppers and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3 minutes until crisp-tender.
  5. Add garlic and ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Return the beef to the wok. Pour the sauce over everything and toss to coat. Cook for 1 minute until heated through.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions.

Notes

For extra heat, add more red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha. Serve over steamed jasmine rice or noodles.
