Description
This Beef Bok Choy Stir-Fry is a quick and flavorful dish featuring tender strips of beef and crisp bok choy tossed in a savory garlic-soy sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights, it’s comforting, light, and ready in just 15 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 lb thinly sliced beef (sirloin, flank, or chuck steak)
- 1 tbsp oil (vegetable or sesame)
- 2–3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced (optional)
- 3–4 cups bok choy, chopped (baby or regular)
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 tsp brown sugar (optional, for sweetness)
- Optional additions: sliced bell pepper, water chestnuts
Instructions
- Heat a wok or skillet on high heat until very hot.
- Add oil and quickly stir-fry beef strips for about 1 minute until just browned.
- Add minced garlic (and ginger if using), stir-fry briefly until fragrant.
- Add bok choy and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes until stems are tender and leaves wilt.
- Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and brown sugar (if using). Toss everything to coat evenly and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
- Serve immediately over rice or noodles.
Notes
- Use thin-cut beef for fast cooking and tenderness.
- Baby bok choy is ideal, but regular bok choy works if stems are thinly sliced.
- Add a splash of sesame oil at the end for extra depth of flavor.
- Can be made vegetarian using tofu or mushrooms.
- Great with steamed rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
