I developed this non-deep-fried variation of the traditional ginger beef while searching for a healthier alternative. The beef will absorb more ginger flavor the longer it is marinated.

I love ginger beef but do not like recipes that have high sodium. This one does not. It was delicious and will definitely make it again!
amazing!
Very tasty. I followed the recipe but next time I will chop the ginger instead if slicing.
Delicious. Wasn’t too thrilled when I’d bite not a piece of that thin sliced ginger. But this recipe is great. I’d add extra steak and serve it just over veggies next time. Yum!
Very good as is. Next time I’ll try adding a variety of veggies.
Pretty good. I used 1.5x the meat, 2 peppers, 1.5 large onions probably could have used 1 large one, a full pack of sliced fresh mushrooms… made homemade sweet and sour sauce from another Allrecipes recipe… and it was really very tasty!!
Serve with some red chilly flacks
Super simple and full of flavor. My wok does not have a cover so I just stir-fried it continually throughout the entire cooking time. I was afraid the sweet and sour sauce would make it too sweet but it was perfect.
Smells fantastic. Added a few bits of citrus to add extra flavour. Perfect and easy to make…. love it
