This steak stir-fry recipe serves 2 with some for leftovers! Adjust quantity of meat or vegetables up or down to suit your household’s needs.
Stir-fry is a very fun recipe to get creative with and it’s so fast to make. Your best bet is to prep and cut all ingredients first, then get cooking so you can ensure a constant stir and even cooking.
You’ll have to play around with the ratio of meat to veggies that works for you and the consistency of sauce you like too – some like it thicker, some thinner, some spicy or some mild! Try chicken instead of steak! Alter the vegetables included to your tastes. For instance, you may want to add or substitute in broccoli, squash, mushrooms, watercress, or asparagus. Mix it up with flavors you love and make it your own. Happy cooking!
