Super Tender Beef Stir-fry
PREP TIME
10 minutes
COOK TIME
20 minutes
SERVES
4
Ingredients
2 x 250g (9 oz) striploin steaks (sirloin, rib-eye, scotch fillet or rump steaks are also fine to use)
2 tbsp vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 onion, sliced
2 capsicums (bell peppers), deseeded and cut into bite-sized pieces
2 spring onions (scallions), finely chopped
Marinade:
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp Chinese Shaoxing wine*
½ tsp bicarbonate soda (baking soda)
3 tspcornflour(cornstarch)
Stir-fry sauce:
3 tbsp oyster sauce
3 tbsp Chinese Shaoxing wine*
2 tbsp soy sauce
½ tsp dark soy sauce
2 tsp sugar
1½ tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp white vinegar
Steps
Slice the steaks against the grain and at a diagonal to form wide strips that are no more than 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) thick.
Whisk together the marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Add the beef and mix well with your hands to make sure each piece of beef is coated. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
To make the stir-fry sauce, mix the ingredients in a small bowl.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the garlic and then the onion and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Push the onion and garlic to the sides of the pan and add the beef strips into the centre. Spread the beef out as much as possible and allow to sear for about 2 minutes. Then stir-fry and combine all the ingredients. Before the beef is cooked through, add the capsicum. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds or until the beef is just cooked. Add the stir-fry sauce and stir-fry for another 10 seconds or until everything is well coated. Turn the heat off and toss through the spring onions.
Notes:
– Chinese Shaoxing wine is a type of cooking rice wine. It’s available in the Asian aisle of some major supermarkets or from an Asian grocery store. If you’d rather leave it out, simply replace with beef stock.
What cut of beef is the best for beef stir fry?
No-one wants a tough and chewy stir fry, so nailing tender beef is key when you’re trying to take your stir-fry to the next level.We recently put the most popular cuts of beef to the test in an attempt to findthe best beef for stir fry, and the results were surprising.
Long story short, as long as you follow the guide for cutting, prepping (velvetingis an excellent technique to master if you love stir-fry) and cooking your meat, you can get away with most cuts of beef – even budget cuts like chuck steak – and still reap the rewards of an ultra-tender stir-fry.
Check out more of our beef chuck stir-fry recipes for even more dinner inspo!
Can I use different veggies in this stir fry?
Of course! The beauty of stir frying is that it is completely customisable! We’ve added capsicums and onions here but you can add pretty much whatever you have laying around in the bottom of yourcrisper.
You could add Asian greens, broccoli, green beans, snow peas…the world is your oyster when it comes to stir frying!

What should I serve beef stir fry with?

Review of Super Tender Beef Stir-fry
This is a fairly quick, easy and really delicious recipe. The meat was super tender and the vegies tasty. The sauce was very flavoursome yet not overpowering. I loved that the meat only had to be marinaded for 10 minutes. I like my capsicum cooked a little more so I cooked the onion and capsicum together then added the garlic – cooked it a little more and then took them out and then cooked the beef separately in batches. Addedthe vegies back to the pan and added the sauce – fantastic!! Will def cook again.

Review of Super Tender Beef Stir-fry
I can honestly say this is the best beef stir fry i have made in 50 years !!!!!
I cooked it this evening for the first time. Hubby gave it 10/10. So easy once you’ve measured everything out. My one tip would be only use 1/2 teaspoon of pepper in the sauce if you don’t like it too peppery. Other than that amazing.

Review of Super Tender Beef Stir-fry
Even better than at the restaurant and so easy to make.
I peel the peppers to make them more digestible, we feasted once again my husband and I.
I also added two fresh, raw onions, cut into thin strips to add even more crunch.
A drizzle of lime provided a real flavor boost.
A terribly good dish!
Thank you for sharing.

Review of Super Tender Beef Stir-fry
If you’ve ever wondered why you can’t make a stir-fry as good as a restaurant, listen to Marion! She isnR17;t lying – the beef in this stir-fry is so beautifully tender, I don’t think I could do it any other way. The sauce is perfectly balanced and the veggies are still beautiful and crisp. Delicious!

Review of Super Tender Beef Stir-fry
So easy to prepare. I marinated the beef for about 40 minutes because I was meal prepping, and it turned out so velvety and tender! I don’t have a wok, definitely did not slice my beef as thinly as the video, subbed beef stock for the Chinese wine and green onion for the spring onion and it was still 10/10. The flavor of the stir fry sauce is just perfectly balanced with a slight peppery note, will definitely be making this over and over.

This is so good I have made it at least once a month since I first saw Marion’s video.
Works every time, I even tried it successfully with stir fry beef strips from the butcher. (Not supermarket beef stir fry strips). Bicarb soda is used to tenderize the meat in many Asian restaurants.

Review of Super Tender Beef Stir-fry
I used rump and followed the steps, and it was so tender. Mixed up the veggies and used carrot sticks. Cauliflower, broccoli and a bit of wombok cabbage because I didn’t have capsicum. And it was so YUMMY 😋.
