Preparing the Beef
For this recipe, I recommend a cheap cut of beef such as top or bottom round.
You can certainly go nicer with a top sirloin, but not necessary if you’re looking to keep things budget-friendly!
Make sure you buy your beef whole and NOT already pre-sliced into stir-fry beef!
To prep the meat, slice your steak into very thin strips. The thinner you can get it, the better texture it will have when it’s cooked!
Picking your Vegetables
I use a mix of broccoli, sweet peppers, and onions in this recipe, but you certainly have other options as well!
Some of our other vegetable add-in favorites…
- Snow peas or sugar snap peas
- Shredded carrots
- Sliced mushrooms
- Sliced zucchini
- Water chestnuts
- Baby corn
Making the Teriyaki Sauce
Disclaimer: if you’re running short on time, you can definitely take the easy route and use a jarred teriyaki sauce.
But if you have an extra five minutes, I DEFINITELY recommend making it homemade!
My homemade teriyaki sauce calls for soy sauce, white vinegar, light brown sugar, grated fresh ginger, water, and cornstarch.
It cooks up in only a few minutes right in the same pan with the vegetables and beef. The flavors are SO worth the extra little bit of effort!
I guarantee this beef teriyaki stir fry will become a dinner regular in your house. This one’s always on our dinner rotation for good reason!
Next time, try this citrus chicken and broccoli stir-fry or pineapple beef and broccoli stir-fry!

Rice noodles sounds like an amazing twist! Glad to hear these were a hit 🙂
Deb says
I make this meatless, just load up on veggies. Also I’ve used ramen noodles to spend up the cook time. It comes together VERY fast so I make sure the sauce is prepared before I start. Thanks!
Sarah says
Hey Deb! So so happy to hear you loved this stir fry – love the use of ramen noodles!

Amazing! I switched the spaghetti out for true lo mein noodles and toss finished in an ever clear flaming wok.
Sarah says

I used rump steak but cooked it quickly, removed it and added it back to the wok after the vegetables had been stirfried, and sauce added and brought to the boil, this keeps the rump steak tender. I used hokkien noodles. I have tried different teriyaki sauce recipes and l found this sauce a bit too sweet. I recommend reducing the sugar slightly.

Thanks for sharing your adjustments, Lisa! 🙂
