Sesame Ginger Beef

Nothing is simpler than a stir fry. It proves you can get dinner ready in mere minutes after a long day.

Serves: 2

Prep time: 15 min | Cook time: 10 min

Ingredients:

  • ½ lb. (250 g) lean top sirloin beef, trimmed
  • 1 tsp. (5 mL) cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp. (25 mL) canola oil
  • ½ tsp. (2 mL) sesame oil
  • ½ lb. (250 g) fresh green beans, trimmed and halved
  • 1 tbsp. (15 mL) fresh peeled gingerroot, very finely minced
  • 10 oz. (284 mL) can Money’s Mushrooms, Sliced, drained
  • 2 green onions, coarsely chopped
  • ¼ cup (50 mL) beef stock
  • 2 tsp. (10 mL) soy sauce
  • ½ tsp. (2 mL) chili garlic sauce (optional)
  • 1 tbsp. (15 mL) sesame seeds, toasted

Instructions:

  1. Have all ingredients sliced and measured before starting to cook.
  2. Cut beef across the grain into thin strips. Dust strips with cornstarch. Heat 1 tablespoon (15 mL) oil in a wok. Add half of the beef strips and stir fry over high heat until lightly browned but still pink in the center. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate. Repeat with the remaining beef strips.
  3. Add the remaining canola oil and sesame oil to the wok. Stir in green beans and minced ginger, stir-fry over high heat until beans are bright green but still crisp (about 2 minutes).
  4. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Return beef to the wok and continue to stir fry for 2 more minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens. Serve over Basmati rice and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
