Asian Beef Stir-Fry

A few weeks ago, Brent and I made Asian Beef Stir-Fry from our Eating for life cookbook. We both really enjoyed it!




The recipe:

Serves:4
Prep time: 30 min


Ingredients:
4 portions of spaghetti (about 8 oz uncooked)
4 portions lean steak (about 1 lb)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, sliced
4 celery stalks, sliced
1 head napa cabbage, shredded
1/2 cup lite soy sauce

Directions:
1. Prepare spaghetti according to the package directions, drain & set aside.
2. While the spaghetti is cooking, slice the steak lengthwise into 2-inch strips. Cut crosswise into 1/2-in-thick slices.
3. Lightly coat a large skillet or wok with cooking spray. Over medium-high heat, stir-fry red pepper flakes and garlic for 1 minute.
4. Add the steak strips to the skillet, stir-fry just until no longer pink, approximately 2 minutes. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
5. Lightly recoat the skillet with cooking spray. Stir-fry onion and celery until tender, approximately 5 minutes. Add cabbage and cook until crisp-tender, approx 2 more minutes.
6. Return steak to skillet. Add cooked spaghetti and lite soy sauce; mix gently and heat thoroughly.
7. Divide into 4 portions, serve & enjoy! :)

*We changed a few things which you can see below.


And in case you want to save the recipe as an image to your cell phone like I like to do...

We used Laura's lean beef sirloin, but when we make it again, we will probably go with fillet. Sirloin can be a little chewy when made in the skillet.

We added broccoli, carrots and snap peas to ours.

I'm trying not to eat all too many processed things lately. I feel a bit better in doing so if it's organic. For the soy sauce and noodles, we use...

Here are a few step-by-step pictures of the directions.....





Enjoy!
