Beef Stir Fry


My husband picked stir fry for his birthday dinner. He's usually the one that makes stir fry in our house so I told him that he would have to make it so I wouldn't ruin it...and he believed me! I have my moments but I'd never make him cook his own birthday dinner. Well, needless to say, when he returned home from work the stir fry was waiting for him. I think I did pretty well for my first try. Well enough to share the recipe with you... 

1-2 lbs beef flank steak, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cups of broccoli, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 cups of baby bella mushrooms, chopped
1 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp ginger paste
salt and pepper to taste

First, boil your broccoli. You'll want it to be just barely fork tender. Saute your green pepper and onion in a skillet with the worcestershire sauce, ginger and garlic. In another skillet, heat your olive oil on medium and brown your steak on both sides. It won't be completely cooked through but you don't want that. Flank steak tends to get really tough the longer it cooks. Last, combine your flank steak, mushrooms, green pepper, onion and broccoli into one skillet (preferably a wok if you own one) and add the soy sauce and any salt and pepper you want. Cook for about 10 minutes until steak is cooked through. Serve over rice or asian noodles.

Enjoy!

Best Ever Crockpot Beef Ribs


I generally dislike the term, "best ever" at the beginning of a recipe title. So much so, in fact, that I usually assume it's the worst ever and move on. But when it comes to my ribs, I would put them up next to any ribs I've tried and call them the "best ever." They are so simple to make and they will literally melt in your mouth. You will need:

Boneless beef ribs, country style (I make a 6 pack)
Sea salt
Hickory liquid smoke
Worcestershire sauce

Generously pat sea salt onto both sides of the ribs and place in the crockpot. Drizzle 3 tbsp of liquid smoke over them, followed by 4 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce around them. You may need a little more if you make more ribs. Set crockpot on low and cook about 6 hours. After they cook, they're ready to serve! 

This recipe could probably be used for pork ribs as well, but the beef is so delicious I haven't considered switching it up. Enjoy!
