1. Beef and Vegetable Stir-Fry

This quick weeknight meal features tender strips of beef and crisp vegetables stir-fried together with an irresistibly delicious homemade sauce that makes this quick weeknight dish an easy, tasty and healthier alternative to takeout!

Stir-frying requires cooking small pieces at once, so it is crucial that all of your ingredients are prepped and ready to go before beginning. Allocate approximately 20-25 minutes for this step (known as mise en place) – then dinner will come together quickly!

If you own a wok, use it! Woks are designed for high heat environments and are great for making quick stir-fry meals. Be sure to preheat it prior to adding ingredients – you want your pan and oil sizzling hot!

To create the ultimate beef stir fry, opt for lean cuts like flank steak, sirloin steak, skirt steak or Denver steak. Cut against the grain to shorten muscle fibers and enhance tenderness; as an extra step try “velveting” your meat by mixing baking soda and water into an ultrafast tenderization technique – known as Velveting!

This simple stir fry recipe makes a quick and healthy weeknight dinner option, featuring juicy chicken pieces tossed with crisp vegetables in an irresistibly tasty honey, ginger, and garlic sauce – a surefire hit with both children and adults alike. Ready in less than 30 minutes – no takeout necessary!

Heat oil in a large skillet until hot and lightly brown. Working in batches, add chicken to the pan and stir fry it until almost fully cooked through, about five minutes.

Enjoy it over either rice (my personal fave) or noodles. Plus, this meal can even be prepared ahead of time to save even more time during dinner preparation!
