Green Bean Stir Fry with Steak
Sauteed ginger and garlic are an aromatic start to this crave-worthy green bean stir fry.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or light flavored olive oil
- 1 pound skirt steak cut against the grain into very thin strips
- 1 pound green beans trimmed
- 3 inch piece of ginger about ¼ cup peeled and cut into very thin matchsticks
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce or soy sauce
- ½ cup fresh basil leaves roughly chopped plus more for topping
- cooked rice for serving
Instructions
- In a very large skillet, warm the oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook, tossing or stirring constantly just until browned, about 4 minutes. Remove the cooked steak to a plate.
- Add the green beans, ginger, and garlic to the juices left in the skillet. Toss to combine, add water, and cover with lid. Continue cooking over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Uncover and continue tossing the green beans in the skillet constantly until the green beans are crisp-tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Return the beef and any juices to the skillet along with the fish sauce and basil. Toss quickly to coat and cook about a minute. Sprinkle with more basil, if desired and serve immediately, by itself or over rice.
