THRIFTY THURSDAY

MORNING EVERYONE.
Only one more sleep and we get our two little grandsons for the weekend.. Grumpy and I are going to take Deklan to his skating lessong on Saturday morning and then we are going to take the boys to Ladysmith Days then have some activities and a Bull Head Derby so we are sure that Deklan  will like that...

BEEF AND
VEGETABLE
STIR FRY

Recipe ingredients
  • 1 lb. (500 g) boneless beef sirloin grilling steak, cut into strips
  • 1¼ cups (300 mL) Beef Broth
  • 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) cornstarch
  • 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) garlic powder
  • 3 cups (750 mL) fresh or frozen cut-up vegetables
  • 4 cups (1 L) hot cooked rice

Preparation

Heat large, non-stick skillet, lightly coated with vegetable oil cooking spray over medium-high heat. Cook beef 10 minutes or until browned. Set beef aside.
Stir in mixture of broth, cornstarch, soy sauce, brown sugar and garlic powder. Heat to a boil, stirring often. Return beef to skillet. Reduce heat; simmer 5 minutes. Stir in vegetables.
Simmer covered, until beef and vegetables are cooked through - about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve over rice

THRIFTY THURSDAY

To keep rice from sticking together:
Add a spoonful of lemon juice to the boiling water when cooking.  When the rice is done, let it cool for a few minutes, then fluff with a fork before serving.
I have decided not to ask to see the sun during the day....I even said please but it does not seem to work... Finishing off a couple of more orders this week and have to do a grocery shop for a couple of snacks for the boys...
Enjoy
Cheers
Granny
