Equipment

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine sliced beef, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add the remaining oil. Sauté garlic and ginger for 30 seconds, then add bell pepper, broccoli, and carrots. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: Return the beef to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  5. Step 5: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the cut potatoes in a bowl with vegetable oil and salt until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  6. Step 6: In a large bowl, combine mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine.
  7. Step 7: Plate the beef stir-fry alongside the crispy fries and fresh garden salad. Enjoy your meal!

Notes

Store the beef stir-fry in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep the fries separate to maintain their crispiness. The salad is best eaten fresh.
