Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok (for high-heat stir-frying and even cooking)
  • Cutting board (for slicing beef and prepping vegetables)
  • Sharp chef’s knife (for thinly slicing boneless blade steak and chopping vegetables)
  • Mixing bowl (for preparing cornstarch slurry or sauce if needed)
  • Wooden spoon or spatula (for stirring and tossing the stir fry)
  • Measuring cups and spoons (for accurate sauce and ingredient measurements)
  • Garlic press (optional, for quick garlic prep)
  • Rice cooker or medium saucepan (for cooking fluffy white rice or jasmine rice)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb steak boneless blade, thinly sliced
  • 6 -7 baby bok choy halved
  • 1 cup green beans chopped
  • 1 cup carrot shredded, equivalent of 1 large carrot
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • ¼ cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce for depth
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated (flavor boost)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil rich finish
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water slurry
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar balances sauce
  • Salt & black pepper to taste

Garnish:

  • ½ cup red bell pepper finely chopped

Optional: sesame seeds, sliced green onions

For Serving

  • 3 cups white rice cooked
  • Chinese-style rice is ideal for its light, fluffy texture.

Instructions
 

  • Cook the Rice
    Prepare white rice according to package directions and set aside.
  • Sear the Beef
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
  • Build Flavor
    In the same pan, sauté garlic and grated ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Cook Vegetables
    Add green beans and shredded carrots. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
    Add Bok Choy
    Stir in baby bok choy and cook for 2 minutes until just wilted.
  • Make the Sauce
    Pour in beef broth, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer.
  • Combine
    Return the beef to the pan and simmer for 3–5 minutes to absorb flavor.
  • Thicken
    Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce becomes glossy and thickened.
  • Finish
    Drizzle with sesame oil and stir gently.
  • Serve
    Spoon over warm rice and finish with a generous sprinkle of fresh chopped red bell pepper and optional garnishes.

    • Pro Tips for Extra Flavor

    Add a splash of rice vinegar for brightness
    Sprinkle in red pepper flakes for a mild kick
    Marinate the beef briefly in teriyaki sauce for deeper flavor
    Add mushrooms or snap peas for extra texture

Notes

  • This easy teriyaki beef stir fry recipe works best when all ingredients are prepped before cooking, as stir frying happens quickly over high heat.
  • For the most tender beef, use boneless blade steak sliced very thinly against the grain. This helps create a soft, restaurant-style texture in your homemade Asian stir fry.
  • Baby bok choy should be washed thoroughly to remove any grit between the leaves and cooked just until wilted to keep its fresh, crisp texture.
  • The combination of beef broth and teriyaki sauce creates a rich, savory base, while garlic and fresh ginger add authentic Asian-inspired flavor.
  • A cornstarch slurry is essential for achieving a thick, glossy stir fry sauce that coats the beef and vegetables evenly.
  • Fresh red bell pepper is used as a garnish for added sweetness, crunch, and vibrant color, enhancing both flavor and presentation.
  • Jasmine rice or Chinese-style white rice is the ideal base for this teriyaki beef and vegetable stir fry, as it absorbs the sauce beautifully.
  • For extra flavor depth, a small splash of sesame oil added at the end enhances the overall richness of this quick weeknight dinner recipe.
