Hawaiian Beef Teriyaki Stir-Fry is a delicious dish that combines tender beef with sweet and savory teriyaki flavors, often accompanied by vibrant vegetables. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak (sliced thinly)
1 bell pepper (sliced into strips)
1 onion (sliced)
2 carrots (sliced thinly)
2 cups broccoli florets
2-3 tbsp vegetable oil (for stir-frying)
2-3 garlic cloves (minced)
1 tsp ginger (minced)
For the Teriyaki Sauce:
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup pineapple juice (for a tropical twist)
2 tbsp brown sugar (or honey)
1 tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp cornstarch (mixed with 2 tbsp water for thickening)
Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Green onions (for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch mixture. Set aside.
Cook the beef: Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the beef strips for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.
Stir-fry vegetables: In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed and sauté the garlic and ginger for about 30 seconds. Add the onion, bell pepper, carrots, and broccoli. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Combine and finish: Add the cooked beef back into the pan with the vegetables. Pour in the prepared teriyaki sauce and stir everything together. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables.
Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve over steamed rice or noodles.
Enjoy the tropical flavors of this Hawaiian-inspired stir-fry!
