Beef Stir Fry with Peppers, Zucchini, and Carrots. Beef bites sautéed with peppers, zucchini, and carrots and mixed with teriyaki sauce.
For a time savings I recommend prepping the vegetables the on the weekend, or the night before. Cut up all the vegetables and place them in the refrigerator until you are ready to make the dish.
This is a tasty dish with the sweetness of the teriyaki sauce and zucchini and the heartiness of the beef and rice. In this version of the recipe I add the teriyaki sauce during the cooking process.
You can also marinate the beef sirloin overnight, which would require you to prepare the beef sirloin when you are prepping the vegetables.
To marinade the beef sirloins, add the teriyaki sauce and beef sirloin pieces into a plastic bag or bowl. Since this is a marinade, I would recommend adding a few tablespoons or water.
Mix everything together and place in the refrigerator. Preparing the sirloin a head of time will make cooking the dish that much faster. Which is great for busy weeknights.

Stir Fries are so versatile with endless combinations of vegetables and protein. In this version I am using beef sirloin, zucchini, carrots, and red bell pepper. Broccoli would pair well with the beef teriyaki, as well as, just peppers and onions.
Remember when you are preparing vegetables in a stir fry it is important to cut the vegetables to the same size. This will help for more even cooking.
