Steak Stir Fry
Steak Stir Fry is a quick skillet dinner with tender sliced steak, crisp asparagus, and a savory garlic ginger sauce.
Ingredients
- 1-2 pounds sirloin steak, sliced
- 1 bunch asparagus, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon ginger paste
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Slice the sirloin steak thinly against the grain.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger paste, and cornstarch until smooth.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced steak and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the chopped asparagus and the white parts of the green onions to the same skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the asparagus is crisp-tender.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring often.
- Add the steak back to the skillet. Pour the sauce over the steak and asparagus, then stir until everything is coated.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the steak is cooked to your liking.
- Top with the green parts of the green onions before serving over rice, cauliflower rice, or noodles.

Notes
- Slice the steak thinly: Thin slices cook quickly and stay tender. Cut against the grain for the best texture.
- Do not over cook the steak: Sear it just until browned, then add it back at the end so it does not get tough.
- Whisk the cornstarch into the sauce first: This helps the sauce thicken smoothly without clumps.
- Cook the asparagus until crisp-tender: The asparagus should still have a little bite so it does not get mushy.
- Serve right away: Stir fry is best fresh, while the steak is tender and the sauce is glossy.
