A delicious stir fry recipe made with marinated strips of sesame beef and fresh vegetables – a tasty dinner that the whole family will enjoy!
This Sesame Beef and Vegetable Stir Fry recipe is packed with fresh veggies! I put carrots, snow peas, string beans and shallots in my stir fry, but you could also use capsicum, onion, or even bok choy – the options are endless.
I make everything in this meal from scratch (it’s well worth it, I promise!). The sauce mix can be make pretty quickly in a mixing jug, which I then put aside until the very end when it’s added to the cooked beef and veggies.
The marinade I use on the beef is made from garlic, ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, Chinese five spice and black pepper – it’s so tasty! The beef strips can be marinated in it for 20 minutes, or if you’re wanting a really flavoursome dinner, let them marinate overnight in the fridge.
Once the meat is marinated and the veggies and sauce prepped, it’s just a matter of cooking it all up and adding in the tasty sauce.
I serve this stir fry on rice and my family love it! It’s a great dinner for a family with growing children because it’s packed with healthy fresh veggies and a good source of protein.

Instructions
- In a medium bowl add marinade ingredients: garlic, ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, Chinese five spice, and black pepper. Mix.
- Add beef strips and stir to coat.
- Set aside to marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for at least 4-8 hours (preferably overnight).
- Meanwhile, cook rice following packet directions and prepare vegetables.
- Begin to make sauce: in a jug add water and corn powder. Whisk together.
- Add to jug garlic, ginger, stock powder, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine and set aside.
- In a large frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat.
- Strain meat from marinade, then stir fry meat in small batches, for 1 to 2 minutes, until just browned. Don’t overcook as meat will continue to cook while resting. Transfer meat from pan and place on a plate.
- Heat remaining oil, then add carrots, snow peas and spring onion. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until just browned. Spring onions will cook quickly, do not burn.
