Spicy Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry

Ingredients:

Please use the amount of vegetables that would work best for the amount of people you were feeding, as well as vegetables to your particular taste. Below is what I used

  • 1/2 Zucchini cut into matchsticks
  • 1/2 Bell Pepper cut into strips
  • Sliced hand full of mushrooms
  • 3 green onions cut on biased
  • 3 baby bok choy chopped
  • Broccoli Florets
  • 3 chili peppers diced ( I used hot red chilies along with the seeds) Change for taste.

Directions:

  • Marinate Beef Strips in a few shakes of low sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of pepper (to taste)  I marinated mine for about an hour.
  • Heat small amount of oil and garlic in a pan at medium high, add half the veggies cook stirring continuously until broccoli is bright green however, still crisp.  I did my vegetables in two batches because I made a large quantity.  Remove veggies and set aside.
  • Pour beef strips into pan along with chilies and sauté quickly on high for about a minute.  Do not cook through or it will be tough.  Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Back into pan, add low sodium soy sauce, Xyla Teriyaki Sauce, Pepper, dash of cayenne (again you can omit, I love spicy food) Add small amount of beef broth.  Bring to a low simmer, let simmer for 2-3 minutes.  Dust 1/8 teaspoon (depending on the rest of your liquid ingredients) and whisk, leave to simmer again for 2 minutes.  Add in Veggies back to pan and mix so sauce coats vegetables, cook until tender crisp and add beef back to pan mix well until heated through.  I opted to use a tiny splash of sesame oil at the very end but again this can be omitted.

Enjoy!
