Gluten Free Garlic-Ginger Beef Stir-Fry
Tender strips of flank steak, crisp broccoli, snap peas, and red bell pepper all come together in a glossy, garlicky-ginger sauce that tastes like it came straight from a restaurant wok. The key to that silky, clinging glaze is a simple cornstarch-thickened sauce built from tamari, gluten free oyster sauce, rice vinegar, and honey — bold, savory, and just a little sweet. Stir-fry recipes can be a minefield when it comes to hidden wheat, since standard soy sauce and many bottled oyster sauces contain gluten, but this one swaps in tamari and a certified gluten free oyster sauce so every drop of that sauce is safe. Cooking at high heat in a single wok means the beef gets a proper sear and the vegetables stay crisp-tender rather than soggy — exactly the texture contrast that makes a great stir-fry worth making at home. The whole thing comes together in well under 30 minutes once your ingredients are prepped, and it serves four generously over fluffy white rice. Finish with sliced green onions and a scatter of sesame seeds for a little color and crunch that makes the bowls look as good as they taste.
