Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry

Night Two: Asia


Again, a meal with many components.  Don't you just love it?  I had Nick cut up the beef into thin strips and mixed it with spices and a little fish sauce.


I made the stir fry sauce with fish sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, water, and Asian chili-paste.


I cut up the required shallots and jalapenos, and added broccoli because I thought it sounded good.


I mixed minced garlic with a little vegetable oil.

We stir-fried the beef in batches, then emptied the pan to add more oil and stir-fry the veggies. I made a hole in the center of the pan and stir-fried the garlic.  Then I mixed everything together, added the beef back in along with the sauce.  When the sauce had heated through and everything was cooked, I added chopped mint and cilantro and took it off the burner.  I had already made brown rice in the rice cooker, so we were ready to eat!
