All-In-One

Lately, I've really enjoyed coming up with 'skillet meals' as Matt calls them. They're the kind of dish that includes the food (meat, veggies, grains) all in one. 

Recently a friend who enjoys cooking shared a simple recipe with me for making stir-fry. I adapted it a bit based on the ingredients I had, but I think it turned out pretty well.

This is what I came up with: 

Tasty Beef Stir Fry

TIME: Prep: 25 min. Cook: 25 min.

Ingredients:

• 1 pkg. steak
• 1/8 cup teriyaki sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
• 1/4 teaspoon all-purpose seasoning
• 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1/2 orange bell pepper, chopped
• 2 carrots, sliced thin
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• Salt and pepper to taste (careful not to add too much salt since Teriyaki sauce is salty)

Directions:

Slice beef into small strips.

Heat oil in a wok or frying pan over medium high heat. Brown beef and remove. Add carrots to pan until slightly cooked. Add remaining veggies, all seasonings and teriyaki sauce. Stir and cook continuously until vegetables are done, about five to ten minutes. Return beef to pan until heated through. Serve over white rice. Yield: 2 servings.

Note: Cook white rice in microwave cooker. 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of beef broth.

This turned out to be a nice all-in-one and I'll be adding it to my meal plan. Matt's reaction: "I'm diggin' this." :) 

Be sure to let me know if you try it, especially if you find a way to improve upon it!
