Steps:
- Toss steak in a medium bowl with sugar, sesame oil, 1 tsp. soy sauce, and 1 tsp. salt to coat and let sit 20 minutes.
- Place a large skillet over high heat. Pour in vegetable oil and swirl to coat bottom of pan. The oil should be shimmering and you should see some wisps of smoke-if it's not hot enough, the meat will steam instead of getting deeply browned.
- Add steak to skillet in an even layer (it's okay to crowd it a bit) and cook, undisturbed, until brown around the edges, about 2 minutes. Turn steak over and add onion, ginger, lots of pepper, and 1/3 cup water. Cook, tossing often, until onion is just tender and ginger is softened, about 2 minutes.
- Remove skillet from heat and add butter, lemon juice, and remaining 1 Tbsp. soy sauce. Toss until butter is melted and coats steak. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
- Divide rice among bowls and top with beef stir-fry.

This stir-fry comes together for quick weeknight meal. I do not suggest dry garlic powder or dry ginger, as you will not get the flavor profile fresh ginger and garlic bring. Serve on top of cooked rice.

GINGER BEEF STIR-FRY
Based on Miraklegirl's "Crispy Ginger Beef" (recipe #107072). I modified her recipe based on the ingredients I had on hand. The sauce turned out really yummy, so I'm posting my version here for safe-keeping. (My husband and I aren't huge stir-fry fans, so now that I've found a recipe we both enjoy I'd better not lose it...) Of course, the meat and veggies can be substituted for whatever you have handy (or make it meatless if you want).

Steps:
- Note, because this cooks pretty fast, have all your measuring, chopping, etc done beforehand. Also, if you are planning on serving it on rice or noodles, they should be ready or almost-ready when you begin stir-frying.
- Combine cornstarch and water in a medium bowl. Add beef strips & toss to coat.
- Heat oil in wok or large skillet (on high heat). Toss in beef and stir-fry until cooked (3-5 minutes or so). Remove and set aside.
- Put veggies, garlic & ginger in the pan & stir-fry for about 5 minutes or so.
- Combine soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar & cayenne pepper; add to pan.
- Bring to a boil, then add the cooked beef.
- Continue to stir-fry until heated through. Top with sesame seeds.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ginger and lime zest add a bright, citrusy flavor to this dish. Be sure to use them if you can find them.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When stir-frying, it's important not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the beef from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to steam than fry.
- Cook the beef in batches: If you're using a large amount of beef, cook it in batches. This will help to prevent the pan from becoming overcrowded and will ensure that the beef cooks evenly.
- Use a high-quality soy sauce: Soy sauce is a key ingredient in this dish, so be sure to use a high-quality brand. Look for a soy sauce that is naturally brewed and has a rich, umami flavor.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked. This is when they are at their most flavorful and crispy.
Conclusion:
This ginger lime beef stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The beef is tender and flavorful, and the vegetables are crisp and colorful. The sauce is a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and savory, and it coats the beef and vegetables perfectly. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
