Green food is for more than just St Patrick’s Day – healthy green foods like this delicious Asian Beef Stir Fry recipe with green beans are easy and delicious enough for any day of the week. With lean beef and plenty of vegetables, this is one tasty bowl.
With young kids, I have what’s probably a familiar dilemma at times: what vegetables can I give them that they will actually eat. There are a few things that are kind of a no-go, such as mushrooms. Others I can sneak in to dishes, like eggplant in moussaka, but would have no chance on it’s own. Soups are a great way to sneak in more vegetables, too, and I think we might have to try some Thai squash soup again.
Thankfully, though, some of the healthiest vegetables are ones they like, including broccoli and green beans. These healthy green foods appear on our dinner table on a regular basis, but I’m always looking for new ways to serve them. We all love roasted broccoli and German green beans are popular too. When I saw Family Foodie’s Asian stir-fry recipe, I knew it would be a hit with my family!
Asian Beef Stir Fry Recipe Tips
Being a stir fry, this dish is really quick to cook but there is a little bit of preparation before to get everything chopped and ready. You can, however, speed things up a little, with these ideas:
- use ready-prepared minced garlic and ginger
- ask your butcher to put the beef through a wide mincer for you to get nice thin strips. If that’s not an option, buy stir fry cut beef, and cut strips a little thinner.
- look for ready-trimmed beans.
This Asian beef recipe is an easy supper recipe and a tasty way to enjoy some crunchy veg and lean beef, all wrapped up in a flavorful sauce. There is no excuse not to enjoy some healthy green food any night of the week.
