Stir-Fried Steak and Veggies

Name: Stir-Fried Steak and Veggies
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 20 min
Yield: 4 servings.
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon cornstarch; 1 tablespoon brown sugar; 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger; 1/2 teaspoon chili powder; 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 1/2 cup cold water; 1/4 cup soy sauce; 1 pound beef top sirloin steak, cut into thin strips; 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; 2 cups broccoli florets; 2 cups cauliflowerets; 1 large onion, chopped; 1 cup sliced carrots; Hot cooked rice

There's just enough ginger, chili powder and garlic powder in the sauce to spark the taste of this enjoyable steak specialty. For variety, you can substitute chicken or pork for the sirloin. If I'm in a hurry or don't have fresh vegetables on hand, I'll reach for two bags of frozen stir-fry vegetables instead.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup cold water

1 pound beef top sirloin steak, cut into thin strips
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups broccoli florets
2 cups cauliflowerets

1 cup sliced carrots
Hot cooked rice

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together the first eight ingredients until smooth; set aside.
In a skillet or wok, stir-fry steak in oil for 3-5 minutes. Add broccoli, cauliflower, onion, carrots and soy sauce mixture; cover and cook for 8 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Serve over rice.

This is excellent! I used mushrooms instead of cauliflower and doubled the sauce to serve over rice. I also always season the meat with a bit of steak spice just to add extra flavor to the meat. Can't wait to try it again with snow peas or sugar snap peas and serve over noodles.

Very good. I didn't have cauliflower so I omitted that and added red pepper, celery and bamboo shoots. Will definitely make again!

This recipe is fabulous! I made it for the first time for supper and wouldn't change a thing, except for adding green peppers, fresh garlic , and patty pan squash. The sauce goes perfectly with the veggies and makes a delicious and satisfying dish! My family loved it and I'm sure I'll be making this recipe over and over again!

The sauce is perfect with the right amount of veggies and meat. I cut back on the meat and add more veggies and you use whatever you have on hand. I've made 3 times in two weeks and this will definitely be the new base for my stir fries.
