Instructions
Prep Ingredients
- I slice 12 oz flank steak thinly across the grain and cut 2 zucchinis into half-moons. I mince 3 garlic cloves and 1 tsp ginger for this nutritious stir-fry meal.
Stir-Fry Beef
- I heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat. I sear beef strips for 1–2 minutes per side until browned, then remove to a plate for this quick veggie beef dish.
Cook Zucchini
- In the same skillet, I stir-fry garlic and ginger for 30 seconds. I add zucchini and cook for 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender for this simple recipe.
Combine and Sauce
- I return beef to the skillet. I whisk 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, ½ tsp sesame oil, and ½ tsp red pepper flakes, pour over, and toss for 1–2 minutes for this Healthy Zucchini Beef Stir-Fry.
