In yesterday's post I talked about how this teriyaki sauce has become my 'go to' for meals lately. As a matter of fact, when my husband was away for business and my daughter at University, I didn't have to please anyone but myself for dinner so I ended up having vegetables and nothing BUT vegetables for 3 meals in a row... stir-fried with this sauce.
I actually decided to make a double batch and keep the sauce on hand in the refrigerator at all times. I used my Pampered Chef Dressing Jar (I'll link to one below on Amazon for you to see what I'm talking about) but you can use any jar or container.
This last time I made it into Beef and Broccoli instead of chicken. It was incredible of course. You simply can't go wrong. If I had any shrimp on hand I'd use it on that too (mental note to put shrimp on next week's shopping trip...)
Teriyaki Beef and Broccli Stir Fry
1/2 c soy sauce
1/4 c sweetener of choice (sugar, natural substitute, honey - although use a bit less for that)
1/2 c water
1 T brown sugar or brown sugar sweetener
1 T ginger
1 T minced, fresh garlic
1 t xanthan gum or corn starch
Beef (save time & money - but the 'stew beef' already cut at the market)
Broccoli, red peppers, mushrooms, green peppers, onions, snow peas, fresh green beans, cabbage, bean sprouts, etc. etc. FRESH OR FROZEN (use what you have on hand and make it work!)
Combine and mix your sauce. Set aside. If you have time, you can use half the sauce to marinate the beef, but if this is a last second dinner idea, don't worry about it. Cut up your beef if you haven't bought the 'stew beef' that comes already cut into bite sized pieces. Cook it in a bit of oil over medium high heat til starting to brown. Add the vegetables - fresh, frozen, a mixture of both - whatever. Cook for a bit (I add a splash of water at this point to help steam the veggies). Then add your teriyaki sauce. Stir quickly and cook til sauce thickens up and vegetables are as tender as you like them. I add double the amount of vegetables I want in the end as they cook down. Also - use as little or much of the sauce as you like. Taste test it. Serve over rice if you like - we like it sans rice.
