The Top 6 Quick Beef Stir-Fry Recipes

I currently live in a beef county, which means I do eat beef very often these days. I do grill steaks often with beef, roast sometimes, and simmer stews occasionally. But when it comes to the moment that I have to make a dinner in a hurry, I always look for one cooking method that I prefer.

The tender juicy beef slices paired with vegetables in the flavorful sauce…, yes, I am talking about beef stir-fries. Here are my top 6 quick beef stir-fry recipes that I posted in my blog. Most of them are super easy and can be prepared less than 30 minutes. These are tried and true recipes that my family endorsed and many of my readers loved.

1. Beef and Cucumber Stir-Fry

If you never tried cucumber in a stir-fry, you should. You will love the crunchiness of cucumber with tender beef. This is one of my go-to recipe when I only have 15 minutes to make dinner. With only 2 main ingredients, you will get a scrumptious meal ready for you. Therefore this is perfect beef stir-fry recipe for warm days, or any days.

You will love the simple method to create crispy beef smothered in orange sauce made with fresh orange juice. If you like a sweet and savory dish, this orange beef will be adorned by both young and old.

3. Beef and Peppers Stir-Fry in Black Bean Sauce
