Stir fry’s are a simple way to stretch your proteins, and still feel like you have had a full meal. They include lots of veggies so they are carb friendly for diabetics and others who are watching their carb count. ½ cup steamed rice is just enough of a bed for the meat and veggies without going over your carb allowance. You can change the protein to chicken or turkey with every bit as good a result.

How To Make beef stir fry

Step 1

1. Heat a wok or deep skillet over medium heat until it starts to smoke a little.

Step 2

2. Place cut meat into hot pan, do not crowd the meat, it should be in a single layer on the bottom. Do in batches if necessary. Stir the meat until browned on all sides.
Step 3

3. Remove meat to plate and place the veggies into the hot pan, except the bean sprouts. Stir fry until crisp tender, this only takes a few minutes.
Step 4

4. Return meat to pan and add the stir fry sauce and bean sprouts and cover with a lid. Let steam until the bean sprouts have cooked down a bit and are crisp tender.
Step 5

5. Serve over steamed rice or noodles.
