This lean beef and roasted veggie stir-fry combines tender beef with a variety of colorful vegetables such as bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots. It’s a flavorful dish with a slightly sweet and savory sauce, making it a favorite for healthy eating.

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean beef, thinly sliced against the grain

• 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, snap peas)

• 3 tablespoons soy sauce

• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce

• 1 tablespoon sesame oil

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for stir-frying

• Cooked rice or noodles for serving

Directions

• Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Roast the Vegetables: On a baking sheet, toss the mixed vegetables with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
• Prepare the Beef: In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
• Stir-Fry the Beef: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until browned and cooked to your preference.
• Combine and Serve: Add the roasted vegetables to the skillet with the beef. Toss everything together until well combined. Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.

Key Prep Tips

1. Choose Lean Beef: Use cuts like sirloin, tenderloin, or flank steak for a leaner option with minimal fat.
2. Slice Thinly: Slice beef against the grain into thin strips for tender, easy-to-cook pieces.
3. Prep Veggies Evenly: Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces for consistent roasting and stir-frying.
4. Cook in Batches: Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain a high temperature and achieve a nice sear on the beef.

Suggested Variations

• Protein Alternatives: Substitute beef with chicken, tofu, or shrimp for variety.
• Spice It Up: Add fresh chili, chili garlic sauce, or Sriracha for a spicier dish.
• Grain Options: Serve over quinoa, brown rice, or cauliflower rice for different textures and flavors.
• Veggie Customization: Use seasonal vegetables like zucchini, asparagus, or broccoli for variety.

Serving Suggestions

• As a Main Dish: Serve over steamed jasmine rice or alongside whole-grain noodles.
• Toppings: Garnish with sesame seeds, chopped green onions, or fresh cilantro for added texture and flavor.
• Beverages: Pair with a refreshing iced green tea or a lightly sparkling water with lime.
• Meal Prep Tip: Divide into individual containers for an easy, protein-packed lunch or dinner throughout the week.
