Flank Steak Stir Fry 

Looking for a fast, flavorful, and veggie-packed weeknight dinner? This Flank Steak Stir Fry is your new go-to. Tender slices of grass-fed beef are seared to perfection and tossed with crisp veggies in a zesty homemade stir fry sauce. Serve it over rice, noodles, or wrap it in lettuce for a lighter option — it’s totally customizable and always satisfying.

Ingredients

For the Stir Fry Sauce:

  • ½ cup low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos

  • ¼ cup fresh-squeezed orange juice (about 1 large orange)

  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

  • ½ tsp grated fresh ginger

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch or tapioca starch

For the Stir Fry:

  • 2 lbs flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain (see note)

  • ½ tsp kosher salt

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • 2 tbsp sesame oil (or olive/avocado oil)

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced

  • 3 cups broccoli florets

  • 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced

  • 2 cups snow peas (or snap peas)

  • 1 bunch baby bok choy, stalks and leaves separated

Optional Garnish:

  • Sliced green onions

  • Sesame seeds

  • Red pepper flakes

To Serve:

  • White rice, brown rice, noodles, or lettuce cups
    Tip: Try rice cooked in bone broth for extra flavor and protein!

Instructions

1. Make the Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients. Set aside.

2. Prep the Steak:
Season steak with salt and pepper. Slice thinly against the grain (about 3-inch strips).
Tip: Freeze the steak for 30 minutes beforehand to make slicing easier!

3. Sear the Beef:
Heat 1 tbsp of sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot and shimmering, sear steak in batches, cooking for ~2 minutes per side. Avoid overcrowding. Remove to a plate.

4. Cook the Veggies:
Lower heat to medium and add remaining 1 tbsp oil. Scrape up any browned bits. Add bell pepper, broccoli, carrots, snow peas, and bok choy stalks. Stir-fry for 5–6 minutes until almost tender.

5. Add Sauce & Finish:
Pour in the sauce and bring to a gentle boil. Stir for 2–3 minutes until it thickens. Return steak to the pan and add bok choy leaves. Stir to coat everything and wilt the greens.

6. Serve:
Spoon over rice, noodles, or into lettuce wraps. Garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, or red pepper flakes.
