Sometimes, meal plans are best designed around the sales you find at the grocery store! This week I picked up some lean thin cut beef for stir fry that had to be used by Tuesday. Easy way to plan a meal, don’t you think?
Stir fry is also one of the easier dinners to incorporate lean proteins and lots of veggies! I also incorporated some healthy fats into the beef and veggie mix by tossing in cashews. In my house, stir fry is usually served on a bed of brown rice. Last night I chose to forgo the rice and made a plate solely of beef and cashew stir fry.
This stir fry turned out amazing. I give this credit to the ginger. I bought ground ginger specifically for a stir fry recipe. Stir fry is going to show up a lot more often now that I have discovered the magic of this spice!
