Feel free to add other vegetables like broccoli florets, sliced mushrooms, or snow peas. Add heartier vegetables like broccoli first, as they take longer to cook.
For a spicy kick, add 1-2 teaspoons of chili garlic sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the stir-fry sauce.
Toast some cashew nuts or peanuts and sprinkle them over the finished dish for added texture and flavor.
Beef is a complete protein, providing all the essential amino acids necessary for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle growth, and maintaining overall body function.
This dish provides a significant amount of heme iron from the beef, which is more easily absorbed by the body than non-heme iron. Iron is crucial for producing red blood cells and preventing anemia.
Beef is a natural source of essential B vitamins, particularly B12 and B6. These vitamins are vital for energy metabolism, brain function, and maintaining a healthy nervous system.
Bell peppers, onions, garlic, and ginger are packed with antioxidants like quercetin and vitamin C, which help combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation in the body.

Flank steak is the traditional and best choice due to its robust beefy flavor and texture that becomes very tender when sliced thinly against the grain. Sirloin steak is an excellent alternative.
Yes, you can easily make it gluten-free. Substitute the soy sauce with gluten-free tamari or coconut aminos, and ensure your oyster sauce is certified gluten-free, as some brands contain wheat.
Tough beef is usually caused by two things: slicing with the grain instead of against it, or overcooking. Be sure to slice perpendicular to the muscle fibers and sear the beef quickly over high heat just until browned.
While stir-fries are best served fresh, you can do all the prep work in advance. Slice the beef and vegetables, and mix the sauce. Store them in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator. When ready to eat, the cooking process will take only 10-15 minutes.
