Simple Beef Stiryfry



Sauteed some fresh mixed veggies with corn, squash and zucchini with a little olive oil. You don't want to cook them all the way or else they get too soft.


Once the veggies are done, brown some stir fry meat. To go leaner, use thin sliced steak. Season lightly with sea salt and pepper. Pour a little stir-fry sauce on top while it's hot and let it rest.


I liked this sauce but it tasted a little bland. I prefer the original flavor when it's all said and done.


Toss the meat and veggies together and pour in some sauce. Mix well and let cook/simmer for 10 mins. Serve or rice and enjoy!



To tips to make it healthier:

1. Use thin, lean beef. I like the protein that you get from beef but you can do this with shrimp or chicken too. 

2. Adding corn gives it a great texture and a hint of sweetness. Of course I used fresh corn so it tasted even better.

3. The teriyaki sauce was good but it's higher in calories than the original (which was 10 calories). Plus the original flavor tasted better. 

4. Serve over brown rice instead of white.

5. Mix the rice in so that your portions are smaller.

6. Mix sure you don't overcook the veggies. Once you add the sauce it can turn soupy so make sure you cook it with the cover off.
