Loaded with crisp veggies and tender strips of garlic-ginger sirloin, steak stir-fry is an easy 30-minute dinner to take the hassle out of busy weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1 pound beef top sirloin steak, cut into thin strips
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
  • 1 large green pepper, julienned
  • 1 cup julienned carrots or sliced celery
  • 5 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Toasted sesame seeds, optional
  • Hot cooked rice

Directions

  1. Dissolve bouillon in the boiling water. Combine the cornstarch and soy sauce until smooth; add to bouillon. Set aside. Toss beef with garlic, ginger and pepper. In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, stir-fry beef in 1 tablespoon oil until meat is no longer pink; remove and keep warm.
  2. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil; stir-fry vegetables until crisp-tender. Stir soy sauce mixture and add to the skillet; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Return meat to pan and heat through; if desired, top with sesame seeds. Serve with rice.

No one would guess this elegant entree is a snap to prepare at the last minute. To save even more prep time, use frozen mixed veggies instead of fresh. Sometimes I substitute chicken, chicken bouillon and curry for the beef, beef bouillon and ginger. —Janis Plourde, Smooth Rock Falls, Ontario
