Vegan Steak Stir-Fry

I have been making this Vegan Steak Stir-Fry on pretty much a weekly basis! It is a perfect weeknight dinner – ready in 30 minutes, packed with veggies & protein. Plus, the leftovers are great for lunches the next day. The flavor of the stir-fry sauce is AMAZING! It is one you will want to come back to over and over again.

Here’s what you need

Steps

Step 1: Brown the “Steak”

I really like the Beyond Meat steak in this recipe. It not only adds a lot of protein to this recipe, it also adds a really delicious flavor.

It also gets a really nice char to it when you pan-fry it. To do that, heat some oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the vegan steak and a healthy pinch of pepper. Spread in an even layer and cook until browned. Toss it every minute or 2 until a nice char develops.

Step 2: Make the Sauce

The sauce for this recipe is something extra delicious. It has a nice kick, plenty of umami and a little sweetness.

To make it, just combine red curry paste, soy sauce, sriracha, maple syrup, sesame oil, garlic & ginger in a bowl or jar.

I like to do this in a jar with a lid so I can just shake it. But, you can also just whisk until everything combines together.

Step 3: Add the Veggies

Once the vegan steak is charred, we are going to add in the onions and carrots. Let those cook down for a couple of minutes.

Add the cabbage, broccoli & red curry sauce to the skillet and toss to coat. Cover, lower the heat and steam for 3-5 minutes, or until the veggies are cooked to your liking – this will mostly depend on how big your broccoli florets are.

Step 4: Finish & Serve

To finish off the stir-fry, add in some diced green onions and give it one last stir. You can serve this as-is for a low carb dinner or put it over some rice.

You can also sprinkle the bowls with some sesame seeds or chili oil!

The leftovers reheat super well! Just pop them in the microwave or reheat over the stove for a super easy lunch!

Tips & Tricks

If you don’t like vegan steak, you can sub tofu, vegan chicken or even cooked lentils – if you use lentils, no need to brown them.

Switch up the veggies depending on what you have on hand! You can even use a pack of frozen stir-fry veggies.
