Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1 pound thinly sliced flank steak with 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until just browned but not fully cooked.

How do I store leftover Soy-Ginger Marinated Beef Stir Fry with Crisp Vegetables?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep flank steak from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Soy-Ginger Marinated Beef Stir Fry with Crisp Vegetables?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Soy-Ginger Marinated Beef Stir Fry with Crisp Vegetables for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 3 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 3). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
