The next top round recipe is Sumptuous Steak Stir-Fry. I have to admit I was a little concerned when the beef people asked me to make this recipe because lately my kids haven’t been big fans of stir fry.
I however, LOVE stir fry. It is a great way to stretch meat in a meal as well as use up all those leftover vegetables. I am convinced that you can’t really go wrong with ingredients in stir-fry. After some deep thought (okay not really, it was more like process of elimination and interrogation) I realized that my kids don’t like soy sauce, so I made two batches- one with soy sauce, one without.
You can read the original recipe on the What’s For Dinner website, my modified version is below.
Steak Stir-Fry
All but one of my kids loved the the steak stir-fry sans soy sauce. Stir-fry is also a great way to sneak vegetables into your kid’s meals. This dish was a hit and is definitely going into my recipe rotation.
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak sliced thin
- 1 small yellow bell pepper cut into thin strips
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2 medium carrots shredded
- 1 stalk celery sliced
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- minced onion
- 2 cloves garlic minced, divided
- Goya Adobo All Purpose Seasoning Steak Stir Fry
- Soy Sauce
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 3 cups hot cooked brown or white regular rice prepared without butter or salt
Instructions
- Marinate the steak in olive oil, Goya seasoning, and minced onion for 2 to 3 hours.
- When you are ready to make the meal, cook the rice according to the package directions.
- While the rice is cooking start chopping the vegetables and the steak. (Depending on the type of rice you are preparing the vegetable chopping and rice cook time will probably be about the same.)
- Once the rice is cooked remove from the heat.
- Using a wok or a frying pan, cook the steak on high (I use a tiny bit of butter) for about 3 minutes. You don’t want to over cook the steak.
- Remove the steak from the wok and add vegetables. You’ll want to cook the veggies in the steak juices. Cook the vegetables for about five minutes.
- Add the steak and rice to the vegetables in the pan. I sprinkled Goya seasoning and added soy sauce and cooked for another minute or two.
- Serve immediately.

My favorite lean beef dish is taco salad made with very lean ground beef.

I’d probably have to say that my favorite is my standby chuck roast with carrots and potatoes. Everyone loves it, and it makes great leftovers as well. I’d love to add more beef recipes to my list, so I’m glad you’re trying some of these out for us.

I like to make brisket, but it only happens a couple of times a year – you only get one when you purchase a whole cow, you know…

Mmmm, stir fries. Those are a go-to meal in our house. My favorite lean beef dish would be Filipino bistek (beef steak) which is lean beef, marinated in soy sauce and lemon juice, served with fried onions over a bed of rice. It is delicious!!

My favorite is a grilled London Broil sliced with either pico de gallo or sauted onion and mushrooms on top. Thanks for the chance to win.
Liz says
Just a note – not all soy sauces are created equal. Jess never really cared for anything when I used soy sauce. Mainly because it just made the dish really salty and only tasted like soy. Try different brands. They will have a different/better taste.
Joyce says
We love pepper steak, which is probably similar to your delicious looking stir fry, but in our pepper steak dish the veggies are limited to green pepper barely cooked so it remains crisp, carmelized onions, and mushrooms! jgs0925(at)gmail(dot)com
Erin says
I like fajitas for sure. Thanks for the entry!
Heather says
My favorite beef dish steak on the grill, marinated in Stubbs.
We’ll have to try that adobo seasoning. We all like soy sauce, but a little less sodium certainly wouldn’t hurt us.
alianora says
Roast beef sandwiches are my favorite thing on earth!
Genevieve (MamaOnABudget) says
We’re big stir fry fans. As long as we keep any cheese (sometimes added to the kids’ to encourage them to eat the veggies) to a minimum, it’s nice and lean!
Shannon says
My favorite is beef stroganoff.

I’m not even trying to copy, but definitely stir-fry. I’m not really much of a meat person but I do like it thin sliced like that or small bits on marinated veggie kabobs. Yummy! 🙂

We like to eat the left-overs in a wrap…if there are any left-overs! 🙂
Brandy says
Carne asada tacos, AKA grilled steak tacos,with a sqeeze of fresh lime and a bit of salsa…yummy 🙂

Grilled fajitas!
Katie M. says
Well…. it’s a toss up between just a good old strip steak and ground beef in a taco salad! My husband and I love strip steaks for special treats, but taco salad is soooo yummy, healthy, quick and easy!!!! So I think I would end up choosing taco salad!!!
Angel S says
We really eat beef other than ground beef (cost reasons of course) but a perfectly cooked filet on the grill makes my day.
Angel S says
I mean “rarely”
carla Harvey says
i have just discovered tri-tip cut for kabobs! we were getting so tired of wasting meat on kabobs because they were too chewy to eat. Marinated tri-tip makes PERFECT kabobs!!

We like some stir fry, but we have a giant disagreement on vegetable selection. It’s silly to make two dishes for two people, so I don’t make it much. Yours does look good, though!

Dorie says

Holly says
A beef soup recipe I came up with last year. Our whole family loves it & it is very easy & economical to make.
Cumen Rice Beef Soup
Brown 1/2 lb ground beef in a pot. Remove from pan & set aside. Add 1-3 chopped carrots & 1-2 ribs chopped celery to the pan, leaving a small amount of grease from the burger in the pan. When carrots & celery at starting to get tender, add 1 chopped onion, and chopped garlic to taste. I do about 1-2 tsp of the pre-minced stuff in the jar. Cook until all veggies are almost all the way tender, but not soft or mushy. If you need, you can add a small amount of water or beef stock to the pan to prevent blackening. In another pan begin to heat 2 quarts of water & beef base, or an equal amount of beef stock. Stock should be coming to a simmer as veggies are finishing. Once veggies are tender, add veggies to stock, along with 2 cups instant rice. Brown or white both work. At this time also add your spices, cumen, oregano, & pepper to taste. Simmer soup until rice is done & serve! (If you’d rather use pre-cooked, non-instant rice, simply let the veggies & spices simmer until fully cooked & add pre-cooked rice right at the end just long enough to heat through.)
Marsha says
My fav beef dish is bacon wrapped filets on the grill. YUM.
