It’s also ready in 30 minutes, has simple ingredients and is lip-smackingly good. Perfect for a quick midweek family dinner or something tasty for the weekend too. I absolutely LOVE quick and easy dinners that feel like a real treat. This is the best beef stir fry recipe for ticking this box! Sometimes Chinese-style stir fry sauces can be a bit tricky to master, but this one is super simple and contains just a handful of store cupboard ingredients, with mouth-watering results. Complicated should not be on the agenda for family cooking and this recipe alone reminds us that simple flavours, ingredients and methods are often the best when it comes to feeding our families. I’d love to know whether this is as much of a crowd-pleaser in your family as it is in mine!
Why you’ll love this Beef Stir Fry recipe
⭐️ Healthier and cheaper than a takeaway ⭐️ One pan meal in under 30 minutes ⭐️ That sticky sauce… SO GOOD! It makes sense doesn’t it? The ability to create a real treat of a dish which has loads of flavour but still manages to be healthy and relatively inexpensive definitely beats a long wait for an overpriced takeaway that probably isn’t very good for us. I’m not saying takeaways don’t have their place now and then, but if you can whip up a Chinese Beef Stir Fry recipe in less than half an hour and everyone loves it, why would you not?!

Steak – Flank steak or sirloin steak work really well. Rump steak is also fine. Cornflour Chinese 5 spice
Vegetable mix:
Green peppers – Or another colour if you prefer Spring onions Red chilli Garlic – Fresh or jar/paste/frozen is OK too Ginger – Same for this (cheat or fresh)
For the sauce:
Tomato ketchup Soy sauce Sweet chilli sauce Rice vinegar Water
Noodles:
Dried egg noodles Sunflower oil – This needs to get hot so don’t use olive oil. Sesame oil also works well for a little extra flavour.
Substitutions
Chilli – Omit this if your family doesn’t like the heat, or you can sprinkle it on at the end for the grown-ups instead.
In the freezer Cooked noodles don’t generally freeze very well, but I would rather freeze than throw it away. If you can freeze it without the noodles, that would be best. Make sure you defrost throughly before reheating. If you have more time to play with earlier in the day, chop up your veggies and mix the sauce together ahead of time. Then you can cook the rest up in about 10 minutes! Also I’d LOVE to see your cooking creations. If you’d like to share yours with me, you can tag me on Instagram (@tamingtwins).
