Tips
  • Use a healthy oil - such as canola, vegetable or olive oil, or choose peanut oil which has a high smoking temperature.
  • Stir-frying is a good way to add vegetables to your diet, and reduce serving sizes of meat or poultry. In most stir-fry recipes, you can reduce the amount of meat by ½ or use 2 ounces of meat or poultry per person.
  • For additional flavor, add fresh ginger root or red pepper flakes.
  • For a quicker version of this recipe, use 1 16 oz. package of frozen pepper stir-fry vegetables, and 1½ cups of whole baby carrots. You can also purchase steak already sliced for stir-fry.
  • Serve with Couscous, instead of rice.
