"Cheap Week" Part 2

Actually, this is more like "Cheap Night" as opposed to the entire week. Even though I did the entire week on a budget, tonight's meal is the most economical.

A quick beef stir-fry; here's what you'll need:

• 2 cups of cooked brown rice
• 1-lb sirloin, cut into small pieces or strips
• mixed veggies for stir-fry (I used Walmart's Great Value brand)
• soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp ginger
• toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add beef. Stir in ginger (use fresh, grated ginger root or powder), and brown beef. Add veggies--at least a cup, but more or less as you choose. Add soy sauce, about 2-3 tablespoons, but again, this is a preference thing; if you like that salty, soy sauce flavor, add a little more...if not, add less. Stir to mix well, then cover for about 3-5 minutes to lock in some flavor. Add toasted sesame seeds when done. Serve with rice. Serves two.
