BEEF AND BEAN SPROUT STIR FRY
Steps:
- Cut up your beef. Set aside.
- Rinse your bean sprouts well. Set aside.
- Take out a large saute pan or wok. Spray with non stick spray. Turn on medium-high heat and drizzle some olive oil in pan. Once the oil heats up slightly you want to toss in your beef. Now turn heat down to medium. Cook until the beef is browned. Depending on the size you've cut it, the amount you've used and how hot you have your stove, this should only take about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add 1/2 the stir-fry sauce and stir to coat.
- Now toss in your bean sprouts and let them cook until tender and almost limp. This will take another 3 to 4 minutes. I like mine to become almost noodle like in texture. No crisp left in them. But if you like crisp you just cook for less time.
- Now add the other half of your stir-fry sauce and stir until everything comes together.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Optional step: If you want a thicker broth or juice to it take your cornstarch and pop it in a mason jar with a little bit of water. Place the lid on and give it a good shake. Now take your stir-fry (once it's almost done) and slide it all over to one side of the pan with a spatula. Slightly tip your pan in the opposite direction and all the juice will run down. Pour the corn starch mixture in there and let it boil up while you stir. Then mix it into the stir-fry and let it simmer for a few minutes. Voila, thicker broth.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality beef and bean sprouts will make a big difference in the taste of your stir-fry. Look for lean beef that is well-marbled, and choose bean sprouts that are crisp and bright green.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a flavorful sauce before cooking will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with soy sauce, garlic, and ginger, or you can get more creative with your flavors.
- Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot wok or skillet is essential for getting a good sear on the beef and cooking the vegetables quickly. If your wok or skillet is not hot enough, the beef will not brown properly and the vegetables will become soggy.
- Cook the beef in batches: If you are using a lot of beef, cook it in batches so that it does not overcrowd the wok or skillet. Overcrowding will prevent the beef from getting a good sear and will make it more likely to steam rather than fry.
- Add the vegetables at the end: The vegetables should be added to the wok or skillet towards the end of the cooking process so that they remain crisp and tender. If you add them too early, they will become overcooked and mushy.
- Season to taste: Once the stir-fry is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other seasonings. You can also add a splash of soy sauce or rice vinegar for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Beef and bean sprout stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of practice, you can make a stir-fry that is as good as anything you would get at a restaurant.
