Beef & Cashew Stir Fry image

This is another excellent stir fry written in a hand I don't recognize. It is quite good however. The times are a guess. Freezing the meat the night before makes slicing easier.

AUNT SQUISHY'S CASHEW BEEF STIR FRY



Aunt Squishy's Cashew Beef Stir Fry image

Not all stir-fry has to use the same flavor profile. Enjoy the convenience and ease of one-pot cooking with this sharp and tangy dish. OPTIONAL: 1 tsp of red pepper flakes gives it some nice kick but you can add more if you really enjoy heat. SUGGESTION: I like serving this stir fry over cooked white basmati or jasmine rice but it's versatile enough to work great with just about anything!

Categories     Beef

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 pound(s) ground beef
2 tablespoon(s) minced garlic
1 tablespoon(s) seasoned salt
1 tablespoon(s) onion powder
2 tablespoon(s) montreal steak seasoning
1/2 cup(s) chicken broth
1/4 cup(s) worcestershire sauce
1 can(s) peas & carrots
1 can(s) corn
1 can(s) diced tomatoes
1 bunch(es) fresh kale
1 cup(s) cashew halves & pieces

Steps:

  • Combine ground beef, garlic, seasoned salt, onion powder, and montreal steak seasoning in a very large skillet over high heat and cook until beef is thoroughly browned.
  • While beef is browning, drain liquid from the peas, carrots, and corn and finely chop the kale into very small pieces.
  • Once beef is cooked, drain off excess fat and return beef to the skillet. Add chicken broth, worcestershire sauce, drained peas/carrots/corn, and diced tomatoes and stir thoroughly.
  • Continue cooking mixture over medium heat until warmed through. Add diced kale on top of the mixture and cover with a lid (do not stir in the kale just yet).
