Sesame Beef Stir-Fry


In the summer I love making stir-fry for dinner. It is a great way to use summer vegetables. Since I usually do my stir-fry with chicken or shrimp I figured I would give this recipe a shot to try out a beef stir-fry. I am glad I did because it was delicious, healthy and quick, a great summer meal. I added broccoli and red pepper to the stir fry but I am sure you can add many other things like carrots, onion, pea pods, sprouts or egg.

  • 5 green onions, chopped
