Description
This Easy Hunan Beef is just as good (if not better!) as ordering takeout. It’s quick, simple, and full of healthy ingredients like fresh vegetables and lean steak strips. The sauce is perfectly seasoned with tamari, oyster sauce, and just a hint of honey.
Ingredients
Scale
Hunan Sauce:
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 2 1/2 tablespoons tamari sauce (or soy sauce)
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons red chili paste (sambal oelek)
- 2 teaspoons corn starch
- 1 teaspoon honey
Hunan Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs beef flank steak, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 cup fresh broccoli florets
- 1 red pepper, cut into 1” cubes
- 1 green pepper, cut into 1” cubes
- 4 green onion, sliced
- 15 oz. can baby corn on the corn
Instructions
- Make Hunan Sauce: To a small bowl add beef broth, tamari sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine vinegar, red chili paste, corn start and honey – whisk until well combined. Set aside.
- Sear the Meat: Heat a large skillet or wok to medium high heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to the skillet along with sliced meat. Sear the meat until the edges are gold brown, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the meat from the pan and set on a plate.
- Cook Veggies: Immediately add 1 tablespoon of avocado to the pan along with garlic. Saute for 30 seconds and add in onion, red pepper, green pepper and carrots. Saute for 4-5 minutes until carrots are slightly browned, stirring occasionally. Add in broccoli and baby corn, stir and saute for 1-2 minutes.
- Add Meat & Sauce: Next, add seared meat back to the skillet with the vegetables along with the human sauce. Toss everything together and let cook for 3-4 minutes allowing all the flavors to come together. The sauce will naturally thicken as you stir it.
- Serve with jasmine rice, basmati rice or over cauliflower rice.
