Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry

Essential Everyday

2 tablespoons corn starch

1 pound beef for stir fry

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

½ (16 ounce) package frozen broccoli florets

½ red bell pepper, cubed

1 tablespoon chopped garlic

1 tablespoon chopped fresh gingerroot

Cooked rice

Food should be happy colors.

In medium bowl, combine teriyaki marinade and corn starch; whisk until well combined. Add beef; toss to coat. Marinade 30 minutes.

In wok or large saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over high heat. Add broccoli, peppers, garlic and ginger. Stir-fry 3-4 minutes or until peppers are softened. 

So many happy colors!

Add 1-2 tablespoons water, if needed to steam vegetables. Remove vegetables from pan; set aside.

Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to wok. Add beef, reserving marinade; stir-fry 2-3 minutes or until desired doneness.

Add vegetables and reserved marinade to wok. Stir-fry until sauce is glazed. Serve with cooked rice.

We only had wild rice, which cut down on the effect a little bit but wasn't bad.

My Rating: 4/5 "Lots of yummy stuff going on in here. It was also good practice for our toddler to eat with his kiddie chopsticks. You can use a fork as well, of course, but where's the fun in that?"
