Ingredients
For the Stir Fry:
1½ pounds (680 g) flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon cornstarch
For the Vegetables:
1 large red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 medium red onion, sliced
2 cups (200 g) broccoli florets
1 cup (100 g) sliced mushrooms
1 medium zucchini, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
For the Cowboy Stir Fry Sauce:
⅓ cup (80 ml) soy sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional for spice)
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
Optional Add-Ins:
1 cup (150 g) cooked rice or noodles for serving
Toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the Beef
Combine soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, and cornstarch in a medium bowl. Add sliced beef and toss to coat. Let marinate 15–20 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Sauce
Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, hot sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch slurry. Set aside.
Step 3: Preheat the Blackstone Griddle
Heat griddle to medium-high (around 400°F / 200°C). Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and spread evenly.
Step 4: Cook the Beef
Sear beef in a single layer 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove to a plate and cover lightly.
Step 5: Sauté the Vegetables
Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Stir-fry garlic, onions, bell peppers, broccoli, mushrooms, and zucchini 5–7 minutes until crisp-tender.
Step 6: Combine Everything
Return beef to griddle, pour sauce over beef and veggies. Stir 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats all ingredients.
Step 7: Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve over rice or noodles if desired.
Notes
Slice beef thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Avoid overcrowding the griddle to ensure proper searing.
Adjust sauce sweetness or tanginess to taste by adding more brown sugar or vinegar.
