Steak and Veggies Stir Fry, is a a quick and versatile recipe. Tender steak, any combination of crisp veggies and some Teriyaki sauce tossed together at high heat, for a delicious meal that is sure to be a crow please.
This dish is similar to Caribbean Pepper Steak, but the addition of more vegetables (besides bell peppers) amps up the flavor and the nutritional content. Feel free to use any combination of vegetables you have on hand. This is also a great clean your fridge out dish, because you can add all of the random bits of vegetable you need to cook before garbage day.

Substitutions
This recipe is very versatile and substitutions are welcome.
Steak: You may substitute the ribeye for flank, sirloin or round steak. Be careful not to overcook these cuts of meat as they will toughen.
Teriyaki Sauce: For this recipe I used (this is an affiliate link, use code METEMGEE15 to get 15% off of your purchase) The New Primal's Soy Free Teriyaki Sauce which you can purchase at this link.
However, any whole30 compatible teriyaki sauce will work. Or if you have coconut aminos, rice wine vinegar and some ginger powder you can combine these with some arrow root starch to make a quick teriyaki sauce.
For that you will need ¼ cup of coconut aminos, 1 tablespoon of rice wine vinegar, ½ teaspoon of ground ginger and 1 teaspoon of arrow root flour/starch/powder. Mix together and you have your homemade Whole30 teriyaki sauce.
Veggies: Any combination of vegetables that you typically add to a stir fry works here. You may even add zucchini and Chinese eggplant. Be sure to stir fry the veggies first before cooking the steak.
Step by Step Recipe
Slice steak into 2 inch strips that are between ⅛ inch to ¼ inch thick. If you decide to make your strips ⅛ inch or ¼ inch thick, be sure to make all of the slices consistently thick so that it cooks evenly
Lightly season beef and set aside while you prep your veggies.
Cut all of your veggies into similar sizes for even cooking.
If using baby bok choy, give those a rough chop as they will melt away if chopped into small pieces.
Once you've cooked all the veggies to your desired doneness, remove from the pan. I like my veggies cooked but with a little bit of a crunch.
Then add steak to the pan in a single layer
Cook until all sides are brown, but be careful not to overcook. I like my steak to be medium before adding the veggies back in, as it will cook some more after the veggies are returned to the pan.
Then add the teriyaki sauce, followed by the green onions and then the sautéed veggies and stir fry for a minute.
That's it. You are done. Serve it up with some toasted cauliflower rice or mashed potatoes, or simply eat as is!
