Simple Beef Stir fry

I’m not sure what has happened in our house, but my son has turned into my good eater and my daughter has taken over his picky eater ways.  It took about 8 years for my son to come around so I figure we have about 3 more years of fussiness from our youngest.  Having a picky eater in the family can be difficult but I am experienced so I am armed with mom sneaks and food tricks to help keep her healthy.

One of my “tricks” is to have my daughter cook with me.  She loves to help her mom in the kitchen and when she does she is more willing to try new things. She is pretty proud of herself when she tells her dad and brother how she helped cook dinner!

I chuckled to myself when I saw this picture. I notice both my kids sticking their tounges out when they are concentrating and this picture shows where they get that from.

Every time my kids and I cook together we create lifelong memories.  I can remember cooking with my mom as a young child, and I treasure that memory. Someday my kids will cook with their kids and pass along this tradition.

Ben's BeginnersNow that school and fall sports are in full swing, I look for some help when it comes to dinner meals for my family.  UNCLE BEN’S® Brand Ready Rice is one of those products I come back to time and time again!

Uncle Ben's Ready RiceThis simple recipe is perfect for a busy night.  I precut the stir-fry vegetables and my daughter helps me do the rest.  We have a simple, healthy dinner on the table in less than 20 minutes!

Ingredients

  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • salt and pepper

Directions

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tbsp. of olive oil.  Add chopped vegetables and season with salt and pepper.  Sauté 5-7 minutes until the veggies are softened. Place vegetables in a bowl and reserve for later.Veggie Stir Fry
  2. Using the same pan, add remaining 2 tbsp. oil and heat for about a minute. Add steak strips and season with salt and pepper. Cook steak for about 6 minutes until lightly pink.
  3. Reduce your heat to medium-low and add your sauces. Stir sauce and steak together for about a minute and then add the cooked vegetables to your pan. Stir to combine vegetables with the sauce and heat until everything is warmed through, about 5 minutes.
