Ginger-Lime Beef Stir Fry Recipe – Quick, easy, flavor-packed beef and vegetables stir fry tossed with fresh ginger, lime and soy sauce. Perfectly delicious and it’s just what your weeknight dinner menu needs.
Just how I like to eat my meat and vegetables. Drowning IN SAUCE.
Hey Yo! Happy Sunday! I hope you’re having a great one. It’s finally over 70F degrees out here and I truly am loving it. If I could find a way to ditch my kids’ gazillion activities – cheerleading, soccer, Macedonian School and Sunday School – I would actually have a minute to enjoy all the sunshine for a stinkin’ minute. BUT. Chauffeuring is my life. Another reason why I need to be rich – to hire a 24/7 chauffeur.
Which, I just thought about this, but that might not really work. You know why!? ‘Cause I would still go! How can I not go and watch them play soccer, cheer, roll their R’s, and pray? Exactly. I can’t not go. ⚽⚽⚽
Phewwww. I think I just lifted all that need to be rich pressure off my shoulders.
This stir fry, tho. We’re going back with this. Way back. I know that I always tell you about favorite recipes. BUT. This REALLY is a favorite beef stir fry recipe.
This recipe came about due to two things. I found it years ago while living in the big ol’ Chi city, trying to fit in with the rest of the crowd that was hopping from one Asian restaurant to the next.
We’re talking 2002.
After all the sushi, pho and curry, I decided stir-fry-everything was my jam. From thereon, every time I went to the grocery store, I’d pick up one of those Asian Cooking cookbooks found right by the cash registers, and by the end of the year, I had 26 of them. Hoarder.
Anyhew.
There’s only a few ingredients in this wonderful Ginger-Lime Beef Stir Fry, and they all matter.
First, I suggest using top sirloin steak for this recipe, however, flank steak, or skirt steak work just as well. I also suggest saving time by avoiding cutting up all the veggies, and instead buying one of those 16-ounce Flav-R-Pac ready to go stir fry vegetables. Don’t worry, studies suggest frozen veggies have just as many nutrients as fresh veggies. ✌
End of my suggestions. Let’s roll!
Look at this! It is so good I can’t even stand it.
Have a happy day!!
ENJOY!
