QUICK AND EASY STIR-FRY BEEF

Steps:

• Rinse rice in pot, and cook (follow package directions).
• While the rice is cooking, slice flank steak in thin slices (approximately 2 inches long by a quarter inch wide) and place in marinade.
• Make sure that the steak is coated in marinade.
• Wash pea pods and pinch off the ends.
• Chop the green onions and slice ginger.
• Heat large skillet on high heat.
• Drop 1 tbsp olive oil onto skillet.
• Put meat and marinade in skillet and fry until brown.
• Add more olive oil if necessary.
• Add ginger and green onions to skillet.
• Fry 1 minute.
• Add the pea pods and water chestnuts.
• Fry until pea pods are hot but not soggy.
• The rice should be finished by now.
• Serve stir-fry over rice.
• NOTES: I use small package of Green Giant frozen Sugar Snap Peas so I don't have to wash and prepare the fresh vegetables.
• I microwave them for 2 minutes to defrost them.
• You could also substitute other vegetables for the pea pods such as chopped broccoli or chopped green peppers.
• You can also add more vegetables, such as carrots and/or peppers.
• I also buy the steak "thin sliced", and cut those slices up.
• Makes it cook really fast and a bit more fun to eat.
