Ginger Black Pepper Beef Stir Fry
Aug 18, 2024 10:47 AM
This black pepper beef stir fry is made with tender pieces of steak that are tossed in a deliciously sticky, savory, and slightly sweet sauce that perfectly coats the beef and veggies! Made in one skillet, and ready in about 30-40 minutes, it’s the ultimate weeknight dinner idea. Skip the takeout and make your own!
When you think of a beef stir fry, do you have flashbacks to a recipe you tried that had dry and chewy steak, with a sauce that was pretty lackluster in flavor?
I think we’ve all had that unfortunate experience.
But not in this recipe! The sauce that envelopes the beef is the perfect blend of savory, spicy, sticky, and sweet. If you find yourself licking any excess sauce off your plate… let’s just say you’re not alone in that lol.
Our local Chinese takeout restaurants don’t have a beef stir fry with this sauce, but it definitely tastes reminiscent of a comforting box of sticky takeout beef.
Making your own takeout stye meals is not only cost-effective, but you get to control the quality and quantity of the ingredients used.
