Quick and Easy Oriental Beef Stir Fry

I discovered this dish on a fluke. I needed to put together a fast meal with the ingredients I had on hand. I just threw it together and crossed my fingers, hoping that I wouldn’t have to cajole my three boys to at least try it. I almost grabbed the ketchup bottle on the way to the table, and it is a good thing I didn’t.

My boys just loved my easy version of Oriental Beef Stir Fry. My eldest practically licked his plate. So I’ve decided to officially add it to my collection. This lovely dinner can be made in just under 30 minutes and it is gluten-free, corn-free, casein-free, and Feingold approved. If you’d like to try it, here’s what you do:

Ingredients:

3 or 4 “Sandwich” Steaks (Thin steak strips like the ones you’d use for London Broil)

1/4 cup of San-J Gluten-free Tamari Sauce

1/2 cup fresh coleslaw salad mix with added red cabbage and carrots (I found it in the fresh greens section at my grocer)

2 stalks of celery, sliced thinly on an angle

1/4 cup of chopped onions

2 cloves of garlic (diced)

1 cup of frozen broccoli florets (thawed out)– you could also use fresh broccoli

2 tablespoons of GF flour mix (Betty Hagman’s recipe: 2 parts rice flour, 2/3 part potato starch, 1/3 part tapioca flour)

Sea salt and white pepper to taste (I use 1/2 teaspoon and 1/4 teaspoon)

Directions:

Cut the beef however you’d like it, in thin long strips or as I have done here, in thinly diced bite-sized pieces. Place them in a lightly oiled preheated frying pan. Add the onions and the garlic, salt and pepper. Let it cook while you prepare the celery and if you are using slow-cooked rice begin to prepare it in a separate pot.

When the onions and garlic have rendered, add the celery, broccoli, coleslaw, and Tamari Sauce. Cook an additional 15 minutes or until the vegetables have softened nicely. In a separate bowl, mix the GF flour with about a 1/2 cup of cool water. Pour mixture over the dish, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Cook on low until vegetables have softened to your liking. Add additional soy sauce if you wish. Makes 4 servings.
