Thai beef stir-fry
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 1-1/4-pound beef tenderloin, cut into 2-inch-long, thin strips
- 1-1/2 cups carrots, cut into matchsticks
- 2 cups button mushrooms, cut into large pieces
- 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 shallot, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1-1/2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
Directions:
- First make the sauce by whisking together the beef broth, brown sugar, cornstarch, soy sauce, and remaining seasonings. The liquid will thicken just slightly. Set aside until ready to use.
- Add one tablespoon of vegetable oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the beef until almost done, then remove from pan and set aside.
- Add a second tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan and stir-fry the vegetables for three or four minutes so they are soft but still very firm.
- Add the meat to the vegetable mixture.
- Add the sauce to the mixture and cook for two or three minutes until everything is mixed together and heated through.
- Serve over brown rice.
Nothing beats a simple and satisfying stir-fry!
