This Beef and Bean Sprout Stir Fry is a quick and easy way to make a delicious stir dinner fry at home! It's simple yet packed with flavour.

Ingredients

  • 1 poundbeef tenderloin (cut into thin pieces)
  • 1 poundbean sprouts (washed)
  • 2 tablespoonsstir-fry sauce (soy, tamari or teriyaki will all work in this recipe)
  • 1 dashsalt
  • 1 dashpepper
  • 1 tablespooncorn starch (to thicken juices, if desired)

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut up your beef. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Rinse your bean sprouts well. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Take out a large saute pan or wok. Spray with non stick spray. Turn on medium-high heat and drizzle some olive oil in pan. Once the oil heats up slightly you want to toss in your beef. Now turn heat down to medium. Cook until the beef is browned. Depending on the size you've cut it, the amount you've used and how hot you have your stove, this should only take about 4 to 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add 1/2 the stir-fry sauce and stir to coat.

  5. 5

    Now toss in your bean sprouts and let them cook until tender and almost limp. This will take another 3 to 4 minutes. I like mine to become almost noodle like in texture. No crisp left in them. But if you like crisp you just cook for less time.

  6. 6

    Now add the other half of your stir-fry sauce and stir until everything comes together.

  7. 7

    Salt and pepper to taste.

  8. 8

    Optional step: If you want a thicker broth or juice to it take your cornstarch and pop it in a mason jar with a little bit of water. Place the lid on and give it a good shake. Now take your stir-fry (once it's almost done) and slide it all over to one side of the pan with a spatula. Slightly tip your pan in the opposite direction and all the juice will run down. Pour the corn starch mixture in there and let it boil up while you stir. Then mix it into the stir-fry and let it simmer for a few minutes. Voila, thicker broth. Also, If you want to add any kind of greens to this dish, you definitely can! Broccoli, cabbage, or green beans would make an excellent addition to this dish. You would add them before adding the bean sprouts.
