Equipment

  • Fry Pan/Skillet

Ingredients

For the sauce/marinade:

  • 2/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2/3 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons minced ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

For the stir fry:

  • 16 ounces boneless beef sirloin steak sliced thin
  • 16 ounces linguini noodles
  • 4 teaspoons canola oil divided
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced thin
  • 1 onion sliced thin
  • 2 carrots sliced into match-sticks
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cups cabbage shredded
  • sesame seeds to taste (optional)
  • red pepper flakes to taste (optional)

Instructions

  • Place half of the mixture in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag, add sliced beef, seal (pressing as much air out as you can). Allow the beef to marinate in as long as time allows (the longer the better but if all you have is 5 minutes, that works)! If you marinate for longer than 20 minutes, marinate it in the fridge.

Notes

  • Please note that the prep time and cook time on this recipe does not include the 2+ hours of time needed to marinate the beef.
  • An easy tip for slicing steak is to freeze the steak for 10-15 minutes before slicing, then slice it with a sharp knife. I also like to cut it on a 30 to 45-degree angle instead of slicing it straight down so I can get it even thinner. You will find that the flavor is better, and it is easier for kids to eat. It also absorbs the marinade better.
  • The key to slicing vegetables is to try to cut them all close to the same thickness. You want all your vegetables to cook as evenly as possible. Also, remember to keep your vegetables bite-sized. You don’t want to have to use a knife to cut up the vegetables after serving. Vegetables like celery and carrots can be cut on an angle.
