Thai Beef Stir-Fry Recipe

Thai Beef Stir-Fry Recipe

  • 1 pound beef boneless sirloin steak
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped gingerroot
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 7 medium carrots, thinly sliced
  • 6 green onions, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
  • 4 cups hot cooked rice
  1. Trim excess fat from beef. Cut beef with grain into 2-inch strips; cut strips across grain into 1/8-inch slices. (Beef is easier to cut if partially frozen, about 1 hour.)
  2. Mix broth, cornstarch, fish sauce, vinegar and brown sugar.
  3. Heat wok or 10-inch skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil; rotate wok to coat side. Add beef, gingerroot and garlic; stir-fry about 3 minutes or until beef is brown. Remove beef from wok with slotted spoon.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon oil to wok; rotate wok to coat side. Add carrots and onions; stir-fry about 5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in beef, water chestnuts and lemon peel; heat to boiling. Stir in broth mixture. Cook and stir about 1 minute or until heated through.
  5. Serve beef mixture over rice.
