Take Out?!? Not anymore. This homemade stir fry is better than take out and has fresh and healthier ingredients, making it the perfect meal for the family! Added bonus, it can be made in less than 20 minutes.
I have always been a huge fan of Asian/Chinese style foods. Something about them…they just taste so good. Especially the day after a long night out! The other great part is they are typically so quick to make and also are great leftovers.
As mentioned above, this recipe takes about 20 minutes to make. As you look through the ingredients, feel free to sub in/out any other veggies you would like (you can even omit the beef or change to chicken).
*If you need to make this dish gluten free, the only real issue is the soy sauce. Swap it out for liquid aminos*
For the Beef – The key for the beef is thin slices of meat. To make this easily, I find flank steak works the best. Since it is already thin, all you have to do is cut it in strips. If you use different beef, that is ok too!
Rice – Your choice here. Standard rice or rice noodles. Both are delicious, I went with rice noodles this time!
Veggies – Carrots, Broccoli, and Snow Peas. Others you could add – peppers, onions, water chestnuts, snap peas. Just make sure you cook them until soft before you add in the sauce, otherwise it will soak a lot of it up and not save enough for the noodles.
Hope you love this one as much as we do!
Enjoy!
