Flank Steak For Quick Stir Fry

I’m a big lover of flank steak. In fact, I stock up on it for summertime BBQs. It’s tender when marinated and sliced correctly. It practically melts in your mouth.

However, I had so much flank steak left over in the freezer from last summer, I had to start thinking out of the box on how to use it up. Since it works so well with marination, I figured it would be perfect to use in a quick stir fry dinner.

Marinate For Great Flavor

While many meats, including beef, don’t really require being marinated to use in a stir fry, it’s recommended you do so for this recipe.

The marinade here is basically the one I use for a whole steak when I grill it. You could even use a store-bought Asian-style marinade if you wish. They are all quite good.

With flank steak it is especially important to make sure you slice the meat correctly. Always slice the meat thinly and across the grain. Otherwise the meat will be tough. That applies whether you grill a whole steak or slice it for a stir fry.

Veggie Add-Ins

Bok choy is the main vegetable element in this stir fry dinner. However, you can add in any additional crispy veggies that you have on hand and feel would “go” with the general taste. I used up some red bell pepper that would have otherwise gone bad.

Another great thing about using additional vegetables is that it extends the number of people you can feed with this dish. In stir fries, meat is actually a condiment instead of the main focal point, so using a larger amount of veggies is actually more authentically Asian.
