Heavenly Beef Stir-Fry with Half Moon Carrots and Baby Bok Choy

  • Author: Melissa Cortina

Ingredients

Scale
  • 11.5 lbs beef sliced to stir fry
  • 12 carrots, cut lengthwise and then on a bias into half moons
  • 1 bunch baby bok choy, cut in half and washed well
  • Garlic, 1 clove
  • Soy sauce (optional, a splash)
  • Sesame oil (optional), for the pan
  • Vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. For this quick weekday stir fry, the longest part of the process is preparing the vegetables. Make sure your bok choy is well cleaned. If it’s a little big, cut it to a size that will cook quickly.
  2. Marinate the steak in a splash of soy sauce, if using, and a little minced or pounded garlic while you prepare the vegetables. Choose a pan with the widest surface area possible and get it smoking hot. Add a splash of vegetable oil to the pan (do not use olive oil for this, as it has a low smoking point and it will burn.) Add your sliced beef to the pan.
  3. The meat will sear very quickly. Just before it’s completely cooked, remove from the pan and add the carrots and baby bok choy. Add a touch more oil, if needed (a drizzle of sesame seed oil if you have any), and salt and pepper to taste. Add a splash of water to help it along, and when the bok choy is wilted and the carrots are semi-tender, then add the sirloin pack into the pan. Toss quickly to coat and add a splash of soy sauce (if using) and a squeeze of lemon.

Notes

  • If all you happen to have on hand to make a sauce is a squeeze of lemon juice and a bit of oil, that will be enough to make a tasty meal. But, if you also have a bit of soy sauce, sesame oil, chili sauce, or other condiments hanging in the refrigerator door, now is a great time to use them!
