How to make Super Tender Beef Stir-Fry With BBQ SAUCE
- Slice the steaks against the grain and cut the steak into thin slices. Keep the meat in a large bowl.
- Slice the ginger. Cut the spring into short lengths and separate the white part and the green part. Cut the bell peppers and chili into bite-sized pieces. And sliced the onion into half rings.
- In a bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients thoroughly. Pour the sauce onto the meat and mix well with your hands to make sure each piece of beef is coated. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
- Combine the stir-fry sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a wok over high heat. Add the sliced ginger and then the onion and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Follow the white part of the spring onion and the bell pepper, stir-fry until its fragrance. Push the onion, pepper, and the spring onion to the sides of the wok and add the beef slices into the centre. Spread the beef out as much as possible and allow it to sear for about 2 minutes. Then stir-fry and combine all the ingredients. Before the beef is cooked through, add the sauce and stir-fry for another 30 seconds or until the beef is just cooked and well coated with the sauce. Turn the heat off and toss through the spring onions and the red chilies. Taste and adjust.

FAQS
What type of beef is best for stir-frying?
For stir-frying, it's best to use tender cuts of beef such as sirloin, flank, or ribeye. These cuts are more likely to remain tender and juicy when cooked quickly at high heat.
How can I ensure my beef is tender in the stir-fry?
To ensure tender beef, slice it against the grain into thin strips and marinate it with ingredients like baking soda and cornstarch, which help to tenderize the meat.
Can I use a different type of sauce instead of BBQ sauce?
Yes, you can substitute BBQ sauce with other sauces like teriyaki, hoisin, or a homemade stir-fry sauce, but keep in mind that it will change the flavor profile of the dish.
How long should I marinate the beef?
Marinate the beef for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate and to help tenderize the meat.
What vegetables can I add to the stir-fry?
You can add a variety of vegetables such as broccoli, snap peas, carrots, or mushrooms to the stir-fry for added flavor and nutrition. Just make sure to cut them into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
