Easy Flank Steak Stir Fry

There are two ways you can make this easy flank steak stir fry. Obviously the easiest way would be using only one pan. However, when I made this, it was still triple digits out. So, I didn’t want the house to get unbearable if I used the stove. Thus, I used our NuWave infrared oven to cook the steak, which is similar to an air fryer. That way my house wouldn’t get too hot. Then, when it was done, I heated the vegetables for a few minutes before adding the steak to the pan. Consequently, my stove was on for only ~ 5 minutes.

But, weather permitting, you want to save dishes, or your air fryer isn’t big enough for your steak, just cook it (steak) in ~ 2 tbsp of oil in a wok. And the rest of the steps are the same. Otherwise, just follow the recipe below.

Ingredients for Flank Steak Stir Fry

  • 2 lb flank steak
  • 32 oz package of stir fry vegetables (from refrigerated section of grocery store)
  • 4 oz bottled teriyaki sauce (I used PF Chang’s Teriyaki sauce)
  • 1 – 2 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • and 4 c cooked rice or noodles

Instructions for Stir Fry

  • First, spray nonstick cooking spray on grill pan.
  • Next, season meat evenly on both sides with salt.
  • Then cut steak in ~ 1 inch slices against the grain; and again, cut those slices into 1 x 3 inch slices.
  • Further, cook according to your air fryer’s instructions based on how well you want your meat done. For instance, for NuWave infrared oven, I cooked our steak 4 minutes per side for medium rare.
  • At halfway mark, flip steak over and cook additional time.
  • Next, add 1 – 2 tbsp oil in a wok or pan large enough for meat and vegetables. Heat to medium high.
  • Then add stir fry vegetables and cook ~ 4 minutes, tossing gently with tongs.
  • Incorporate meat and 4 oz of teriyaki sauce, and toss with tongs.
  • Finally, serve with cooked rice or noodles.
