There are about a million different combinations for stir fry, and it comes together so quickly and easily that I really can't think of a better weeknight meal. Have I mentioned it's light and healthy too? This particular stir fry is a simple mix of steak, green beans, onions and basil. Make it your own by adding your families favorites in the mix. Enjoy!
Steak and Green Bean Stir Fry
2t. canola oil divided
1/2 lb Green beans, trimmed
1 Onion sliced thinly
1T. garlic minced
1T. ginger minced
1/4 c. Soy sauce
1/4 c. brown sugar
1t. cornstarch
1 lime
handful of basil leaves
cooked rice
Put the flap steak in the freezer for about 30 minutes prior to cutting (this will make it much easier to slice) Slice meat as thin as possible against the grain, this step is VERY important in order to have tender meat. Heat 1t. canola oil in a wok or large skillet on high heat, (make sure the pan is very hot). Add the steak and cook until browned, this should only take a few minutes. Remove steak from pan and set aside. Add the other 1t. of canola oil then add green beans and onions and sauté a few minutes until the onions become slightly translucent. Add 1/4 cup of water and put the lid on for about 10 minutes or until the green beans are tender. Meanwhile mix garlic through lime in a small bowl. Make sure to taste the garlic sauce to see if if needs tweaking. (I prefer slightly sweet sauce but you can always add a little spice in the sauce as well). Once the beans and onions are nice and tender take lid off and add the garlic sauce, let this all cook together for about 2 minutes and sauce thickens slightly. Add back in the steak and basil and cook another minute to combine the flavors. Serve over cooked rice. Enjoy!
