Since he’s been quite health conscious as of
late, it seems only fitting that his assessment declared him a “Lean
Lover” and explained that a 3-oz. portion of lean beef has only 150 calories,
on average; it’s packed with protein which provides a feeling of satisfaction
that helps with weight management.
We gave this recipe a thumbs up and plan to add it to our plate again and again.

Above: Remove the strings from snow peas. Below: Cut veggies --I used a diagonal cut on carrots & celery. |
1 pound beef top round steak, cut
1-inch thick
1 small yellow bell pepper, cut
into thin strips
1 cup broccoli florets
2 medium carrots, sliced
1/2 cup fresh snow peas, trimmed
1 stalk celery, sliced
1/2 cup frozen shelled edamame*,
defrosted
2 cloves garlic, minced, divided
Salt
1/3 cup sesame-ginger stir-fry
sauce
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red
pepper
3 cups hot cooked brown or white rice,
prepared without butter or salt
1.
Combine
vegetables, half of garlic and water in large nonstick skillet; cover and
cook over medium heat 3 to 5 minutes or until crisp-tender,
adding additional water if pan becomes dry. Remove vegetables; keep warm.
2.
Meanwhile,
cut beef steak lengthwise in half, then crosswise into 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick
strips. Combine with remaining half of garlic.
Barry cuts the beef into thin strips. The thin cut breaks down connective tissue resulting in a tender beef. |
3.
Heat same
skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add half of beef mixture;
stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes or until outside surface of beef is no longer pink. (Do
not overcook.) Remove from skillet; season with salt, as desired. Keep
warm. Repeat with remaining beef mixture.
Beef sears quickly and is losing it's pink color. |
4.
Return all
beef and vegetables to skillet. Add stir-fry sauce and crushed red pepper, as
desired; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through. Serve over rice.
.Couldn't resist --I just had to add an Asian influence to our delicious stir-fry that we served over brown rice. |
