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! 

Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers

If you're trying to cut carbs, sandwiches can be a major loss. Philly cheesesteak sandwiches in particular. I mean, who doesn't love steak, onion and peppers smothered in cheese on a big, greasy bun? While there's no filling bread in this recipe, you can still get satisfaction from all the other ingredients and rest rags knowing it's a lot healthier for you. 

Green bell peppers

Sliced roast beef

1/2 onion, chopped 

Provolone cheese

1 tbsp olive oil

That's all you need! Cut the top off of your peppers and remove the seeds and filling in the middle. Boil until they're fork tender. Preheat your oven to 350. Shred up the roast beef and add it to a skillet with the oil and onion. Cook until onions are translucent. In your pepper put a slice of provolone with the beef and onion mix on top followed by another slice of cheese. Fill all your peppers and place in a baking dish. Put them into your oven long enough to melt the cheese and then enjoy a very simple and delicious meal in 30 minutes!
