  4.4 – 80 reviews  

Creamy vanilla filling is sandwiched between two whoopie pies made of chocolate that are as light as cake.

Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Servings: 4
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 beef bouillon cube
  2. ⅓ cup boiling water
  3. 5 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  4. 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  5. 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
  6. 2 teaspoons white sugar
  7. 1 pound beef round steak, cut into thin strips
  8. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  9. 1 (16 ounce) package frozen stir-fry vegetables
  10. 1 (4 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, undrained

Instructions

  1. Dissolve beef bouillon cube in boiling water in a large bowl. Stir soy sauce, cornstarch, teriyaki sauce, and sugar into the water. Lay beef strips into the soy sauce mixture; stir to coat beef entirely.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir vegetables in hot oil briefly, about 1 minute. Stir water chestnuts into the vegetable mixture, place a cover over the skillet, and cook at a simmer until the vegetables are hot, about 5 minutes. Remove vegetable mixture with a slotted spoon to a large bowl, reserving juices in the skillet.
  3. Pour beef with soy sauce marinade into the hot skillet; cook and stir until browned completely, about 5 minutes. Return vegetable mixture to the skillet; bring to a simmer. Cook and stir until completely hot, about 2 minutes.

Wow absolutely delicious. Thank you for a great dinner.
Keith Warren
It wasn’t terrible; it wasn’t great. It was easy! My rating is based on the recipe as written. Next time, I’ll add some Asian flavors and use a cup of water or more. It has possibilities.
Sandra Oliver
Great recipe
William Jimenez
So salty it was inedible Surprised I didn’t see this mentioned. Also the flavor was lacking, needed some spice or something. I also thickened the sauce as it was really thin.
Miguel Park
All good but use fresh ginger with veggies for a bit more flavor!
Michelle Cohen
I used beef broth instead of a bouillon cube and I added frozen broccoli flowerets. This was a quick and easy recipe and was well-liked by the family!
Peter Burton
I made it with fresh vegetables.
Cody Wright
I will definitely make this again, it was delicious and unbelievably fast to make.
Teresa Krueger
Hands down the best recipe for stir fry I’ve tried. So good and savory and I love it! And it’s so good my boyfriend who doesn’t way veggies ate all the veggies in it. Gonna try it with chicken!

First off, thank you for sharing your recipe. This was delicious and easy, easy, easy to make. I used a frozen broccoli stir fry blend and tossed in some pea pods near the end (wanted to keep them crunchy). Since the blend had water chestnuts I didn’t add extra. I used Thai style rice noodles that I added at the end. If you use thin rice noodles be sure break them up when adding to the pot so they mix nicely and don’t clump together.

I used 6 tablespoons soy sauce and four water. Doubled the recpice had to use two Skittles, then added together. We all loved it
Mr. Kerry Juarez PhD
This recipe was fantastic and so easy. The only thing I changed was the cooking oil. I used sesame oil instead of olive oil.
Jessica Pierce
This was not my favorite beef stir fry.
Kendra Mcdonald
I did change it a bit. I used 2 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce and 4 tablespoons of soy sauce. I wanted it a little sweeter. Turned out great. My husband went back for seconds. We paired it with ramen noodles instead of rice. I think next time I will let the meat marinade in it for a few hours before cooking it.
Mark Thomas
Really terrific ! I doubled the meat and did nothing else and it was one of the best dishes I have ever eaten !! Terrific. Thanks and this is certainly in the weekly rotation.

1st time: I used filet mignon. So tender! Delicious! 2nd time: I substituted shrimp for the beef. Also added fresh squash and zucchini. Used chicken broth in place of the water and bouillon cube. Cooked shrimp about 2 minutes or until pink. Served over fried rice. Awesome!
Scott Compton
Very easy and quick to make and taste great.
Gregory Bryant
This was good, not very spicy but flavorful. Instead of frozen veggies, I used a yellow onion, a medium zucchini, a poblanos pepper and a red pepper – all julienned. I did add the water chestnuts, too. I doubled the marinade.
Sarah Matthews
I really liked the flavor and easy to make
William Brown
I used beef tenderloin instead of round steak.I would do a little different seasoning next time, but it was a good quick meal
Jennifer Francis
I felt it was kind of bland.
