Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 lb Beef (sirloin or flank) Tender and juicy; chicken or tofu can be a great substitution.
2 cups Fresh vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, onions) Add color and crunch; use frozen veggies if short on time.
2 cups Rice or noodles The base of the dish; cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
1/4 cup Soy sauce Brings umami flavor; tamari for gluten-free.
2 tbsp Sesame oil Enhances the dish with a nutty flavor; can substitute with olive oil.
2 cloves Garlic Fresh for best flavor; powdered if shortcuts are needed.
1 inch Ginger Fresh for best flavor; powdered if shortcuts are needed.

Method

Preparation

Cut your chosen meat and vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
In a sizzling hot skillet or frying pan, add the sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Let the aroma swirl!

Cooking

Toss in the beef or chicken. Sear on high heat for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
Add the vegetables for another 2-3 minutes, allowing them to soften just a bit while keeping their color.
Pour in the soy sauce and stir everything together before serving over rice or noodles.

Notes

Serve directly from the hot skillet, garnished with chopped spring onions or sesame seeds. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to one month.
