This healthful stir-fry recipe is a family favorite. I've used a variety of meats and apples and sometimes replace the green onion with yellow onion. No matter what tweaks I make, it always tastes great. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
2 tablespoons cold water |
1 pound beef top sirloin steak, cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
3 teaspoons canola oil, divided |
1 large green pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces |
1 large sweet red pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces |
2 medium tart apples, chopped |
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions, divided |
2/3 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup cider vinegar |
hot cooked rice, optional |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth. Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet or wok coated with cooking spray, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat. Add beef; stir-fry 2-3 minutes or until no longer pink. Remove from pan.
2. In same skillet, stir-fry peppers and apples in remaining oil for 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup green onions; stir-fry 1-3 minutes longer or until peppers are crisp-tender. Remove from pan.
3. Add brown sugar and vinegar to skillet; bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Stir cornstarch mixture and add to pan. Return to a boil; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Return beef and pepper mixture to pan; heat through. If desired, serve with rice. Sprinkle with remaining green onion. Yield: 4 servings.
