I have a confession. I’m the type of person that tears out tasty-looking recipes from magazines, and then I put them in a cookbook so I can make them in the future. Unfortunately, I often forget to make them. That’s what happened with this easy Beef Stir Fry recipe.
The good news is that I was flipping through my cookbooks a few weeks ago, and I found the page that I stashed in the cookbook. I made the recipe and it’s really good!
This Beef Stir Fry has become one of my go-to weeknight meals. It’s a one-skillet-sensation that takes less than 30 minutes to make. Plus, you can adjust the vegetable or beef cut based on what you have available in your kitchen.
