Directions and Tips for Beef Stir Fry

Follow the directions on your rice package. Do this if you are making beef stir fry with rice.
Start cooking the rice before starting the stir-fry recipe.
If the rice gets done first, keep it covered with the stove off, and do not sit on the warm burner when done.
If you are steaming the broccoli, start cooking it when you begin cooking the beef for the stir fry. Do not overcook it. Only cook it for a few minutes to take the crispness out of it. Optionally you can cook it with the beef but, I prefer adding it only at the last minute so the beef doesn’t get over-cooked. And broccoli doesn’t get overcooked.

Can you cook the broccoli in the stir fry?

Yes! If you like your broccoli a bit crunchy or barely cooked you can.

Healthy Beef Stir Fry

Instructions

Prepare your vegetables

First, wash, and cut up your veggies.
Cut bell peppers into strips.
Then peel and cut up onions.
Chop green onions.
Seed the jalapeno, and mince it into tiny pieces if you are using one in the recipe.

Prepare your beef by cutting it into strips

Take the steak out of the package, and cut it into strips for cooking.

Add 2-3 tsp. of Palm oil to your non-stick skillet or wok
Add cut-up beef strips, to skillet.
Sprinkle with garlic powder, ground black pepper, and a dash of salt.
Cook on a medium-high temperature, stirring frequently.

Cook until brown on each side, 2-3 minutes. This goes by quickly, and the beef for the beef stir fry will finish its cooking time when you cook the veggies.

Next, add 1/4 cup soy sauce for the beef stir-fry sauce

Some people add other ingredients to thicken the sauce such as corn starch. But, if you don’t have it or want to add corn starch you don’t have to use it. For this recipe, I don’t use cornstarch. But, you can. Just follow the directions on the package. Add vegetables on top of the beef, and stir together. Cook until veggies are just tender. When your stir fry and rice are ready, serve dinner and enjoy! Serve with soy sauce on the table if you wish. For this dinner, we served our broccoli on the side. Stay tuned for a broccoli beef recipe another Asian-inspired dinner we love cooking with steak. This beef stir fry recipe will easily serve 3 adults. Or 2 adults and 2 kids. Adjust the steak and vegetable amounts to suit your family. You can easily double the recipe. But, you will need a wok or a very large skillet. Or cook in two batches to make your stir fry.
