About This Recipe

This hearty and flavorful beef and vegetable stir-fry is a delicious one-pot meal that combines tender beef, crisp vegetables, and a rich, savory broth. Juicy beef cubes are first seared with scallions and ginger, then simmered to perfection before being paired with hand-torn peppers, cubed potatoes, and long-cut cowpeas and celery. The dish gets its depth of flavor from a blend of soy sauce, cooking wine, and a touch of sugar, creating a perfectly balanced umami taste. Simmered low and slow, the potatoes soak up the delicious broth, while the peppers add a fresh, vibrant kick. With no need for extra salt, the soy sauce enhances every bite, making this a satisfying and wholesome meal. Perfect for a family dinner, this stir-fry is packed with texture and bold flavors that will keep everyone coming back for more!
