Delicious Beef Stir-Fry

Ingredients Needed

• 2 cups brown rice

• 4 cups water

• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

• 2 teaspoons white sugar

• 6 tablespoons soy sauce

• ¼ cup white wine

• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

• 1 pound boneless beef round steak, cut into thin strips

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

• 3 cups broccoli florets

• 2 carrots, thinly sliced

• 1 (6 ounce) package frozen pea pods, thawed

• 2 tablespoons chopped onion

• 1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, undrained

• 1 cup Chinese cabbage

• 2 large heads bok choy, chopped

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Cooking Instructions

1. In a saucepan, bring brown rice and water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let it simmer until the rice is soft and the water has evaporated, around 45 to 50 minutes.

2. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch, sugar, soy sauce, and wine until smooth. Stir in grated ginger and coat the beef with this sauce mixture.

3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir-fry broccoli, carrots, pea pods, and onion for 1 minute. Add water chestnuts, Chinese cabbage, and bok choy, cover, and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.

4. In the same skillet, heat another tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Cook the beef, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your preferred level of doneness (about 2 minutes per side for medium). Add the vegetables back into the skillet and cook together until heated through, about 3 minutes. Serve over the cooked rice.

Note from the Editor:

You can substitute apple juice or water in place of white wine for a different twist.
