Steak Strips Stirfry


Today’s recipe is all about convenience! A stirfry is a great idea when you have a mishmash of vegetables that might either be going bad soon or left over from another meal. The ingredients I used are the ones that I had in my fridge, so feel free to add in or leave out anything. Be creative with this, remember cooking is supposed to be fun!

10. Let cook together on medium heat for about 5 minutes.

  2. This is a great recipe! I tried something similar to this already, but instead of adding beef I used chicken. I also found a great stir fry style mix of frozen veggies that works very well too. I've been trying to eat healthier lately and I'm exited to try this recipe. The only thing I might do differently is switch out the green pepper with a red pepper for added sweetness! Thanks for the great food ideas. I'm always looking for different healthy recipes to make.
