Another go at Teriyaki Stir Fry

 I've been taking pictures but forgetting to make posts. I had bought some 'chuck steak for carne asada' and... it is not that kind of quality but it makes excellent stir fry.

I winged it this time since it was beef and a bit more traditional. Seat of the pants cooking! I started chopping up the celery and onion, then remembered I had carrots as well and started chopping those up then stopped when I realized those would be in the stir fry veggies. Never enough veggies in that pack though.

Ingredients:

1 lb thinly sliced beef, cross grain cuts for tenerness

1/4 c Panda Express Mandarin Teriyaki sauce

2 or 3 tbl soy sauce (maybe less, I didn't measure just sprinkled some on the meat)

4 cloves garlic minced

1/4 c flour

salt&pepper

2 tbl (approx) oil for cooking

1/2 onion diced

1 rib celery diced or sliced thin

1/2 carrot diced or sliced thin

1 bag stir fry vegetables 

1 cup rice (cooked for putting stir fry on)

 

Assembly:

 

Prep celery and onion, crush garlic. Mix salt and pepper with flour then heat oil in pan to shimmer level. Dredge meat in flour using sip lock bag or bowl, making sure to coat meat well. When pan is hot, dump in the meat and move around so as not to burn, when mostly cooked through add in celery and onion and half the garlic. Continue cooking for another minute or so, add in the teriyaki sauce and stir continually so everything is well coated. Add in the stir fry veggies and the rest of the garlic, heat through, turn off the stove and cover to let the veggies finish warming. They need to be soft but crunchy if that makes sense.

Should start cooking the rice (in a rice cooker) when you start cooking the beef so both come out roughly the same time. We had left over rice so it was a quick 2 minutes in the microwave.

It was Deeeelicious! Going to do a repeat tomorrow night, which is why I had to write this down. 

Yum!
