1.    TERIYAKI BEEF STIR FRY:

This is a delicious easy stir fry with a twist.  Hope you like it as much as my family does.

HOW TO PREPARE:
  •  Mix teriyaki sauce, water, brown sugar, together add beef strips. Marinate for 5 to 6 hours.
  • In a large wok or skillet, add olive oil, onion and beef strips.  Stir fry until browned.  Reserve marinade from beef.  Set aside.

2.    HONEY VEGETABLE BEEF STIR FRY

If you add rice or light noodles with this recipe you have a very nice supper.  My family loves veggies and use tofu, beef or chicken, for this recipe.

INGREDIENTS:
  •  ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup prepared stir fry sauce (available in groceries).
  •  ¼ to ½ tsp crushed red pepper flake
  •  4 tsps vegetable oil
  • 2 cups small brocolli floret
  • 2 cups mushroom
  • 1 small onion, cut into wedges and separated
  • 1 medium carrot, cut diagonally.
  • Plus we added a package of boneless rib-cut beef, but you can add chicken or whatever else you like.  Or you can keep it as a veggie dish.
HOW TO MAKE IT:
  • Make the honey-Asian sauce.  You can buy any type of premade stir fry sauce you want.  But we prefer original.
  • Mix that ¼ cup in with ¼ cup of honey and then sprinkle crushed red pepper flake into the mixture. 
  • Stir to mix all the parts up together. 
  • Slice up the vegetables into bite sizes. 
  • The recipe calls for only 2 cups each, but that’s a really small amount, so just do whatever you feel like and depending on how many people you are feeding.  4 cups of each can serve about 4 people comfortably. 
  • At this point separate the process – cooking the vegetables first and then to cook the meat last, which worked out perfectly.  
  • Put all the chopped veggies into a wok and then add olive oil, salt, and garlic powder.
  • Tenderize the meat with some olive oil, salt and garlic powder.
  •  Chop the meat horizontally into smaller pieces that are easier to pick at and chew with the rest of the stir fry. 
  • Now you can quickly cook the meat by itself in another dish while letting the already cooked vegetables have a rest.  After the meat is cooked to your taste, add it all together.
  •  Serve hot.
