Kick Ass Stir Fry

Ya'll,  I hate to brag, but I have perfected the stir fry. You're welcome. It's SO easy you can make it on a week night in 30 minutes! Be sure to read all of this as I will share my BEST tip yet!


Ingredients:

1 skirt steak OR 1 chicken breast, thinly sliced
1 bag OR 1 head of broccoli, chopped
1/4 cup soy sauce, plus 3-4 Tbs
3 Tbs corn starch
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 Tbs honey
1/2 Tsp red pepper flake(or more depending on how much heat you want)
1 Tbs freshly grated ginger
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup rice, cooked according to package directions

Along with 3-4 Tbs soy sauce, and 1 Tbs corn starch place meat in ziploc bag and toss to coat.
Then go ahead and get rice on and cooking, rice usually takes 30 minutes. In a bowl combine remaining soy sauce, corn starch, stock, honey, ginger, garlic, red pepper, and honey. Set aside.
Preheat large skillet to medium heat, add 2-3 Tbs olive oil and add meat. As I have said before, get good color on your meat. Allow to cook 4-5 minutes and remove from pan.
In same pan, add enough water to cover bottom of pan. Add broccoli and cover. Allow to cook only 2-3 minutes, enough for broccoli to steam.
Remove cover and add your "sauce" along with cooked meat.
Continue to cook until sauce thickens.
Serve on top of rice. Makes 2 dinner servings with leftovers.



Tip:
- YAY you kept reading! This is the best tip ever. Don't thaw your meat! When you are ready to cook, pull your meat straight out of the freezer and slice it frozen. Never has slicing meat been easier AND you can get super thin slices which is what makes stir fry so DAMN good. YOU ARE WELCOME. I can guarantee your mind is blown. Don't worry, this was life changing for me too. :)
