Sizzling Stir Fry
Start by gathering all of the seasoning flavor in a bowl of oil, cumin, oregano and fresh garlic. Separate into two bowls and let your beef sit in one bowl and the veggies in the other. Start by pouring the contents of the bowl into the skillet first. Make sure you get all of the leftover oil and seasonings–you may need to add a tsp or more of oil to the skillet. After about 2 minutes reserve the veggies and add in all of the beef bowl contents (oil and all).
Stir Fry Toppings
The toppings are endless for this delicious stir fry, drizzle with sriracha for some heat or whip out a few avocado slices for something mild and creamy. If you’ve got more than one avocado on hand, take the opportunity to make some homemade guacamole. Want to give your meal that restaurant-style taste?
