Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Ensure the beef is thinly sliced. Tip: Partially freeze the beef for about 30 minutes before slicing for easier handling.
- Slice the red onion thinly.
- Cut the broccoli into small florets.
- Trim the asparagus and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
- Roughly chop the walnuts.
- Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the thinly sliced beef and cook until it is browned on all sides, approximately 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently to ensure even cooking.
- Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the red onion and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften.
- Add the broccoli and asparagus. Stir-fry for an additional 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp. If needed, add a splash of water to help steam the vegetables.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables.
- Pour in the teriyaki sauce, stirring to coat all the ingredients evenly.
- Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce is heated through and slightly thickened.
- Stir in the roughly chopped walnuts, ensuring they are well distributed throughout the stir-fry. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to warm the walnuts.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles, if desired.
Tips:
- To ensure the beef cooks evenly, slice it into thin strips against the grain.
- You can substitute chicken or tofu for beef if you prefer a different source of protein.
- Toast the walnuts lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the stir-fry to enhance their flavor.
- If fresh vegetables are not available, you can use frozen broccoli and asparagus as an alternative.
- Serve the stir-fry over a bed of rice or noodles for a complete meal.
There you have it - a quick and delicious easy teriyaki beef and walnut stir-fry that's perfect for any night of the week. Enjoy the savory and sweet flavors along with the nutritious benefits of fresh vegetables and walnuts. Bon appétit!
