  • 1 package (10 ounces) fresh vegetable stir-fry blend
  • 3 Tbsp. water
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Meanwhile cut beef steaks into 1/4-inch thick strips.

Heat same skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add 1/2 of beef and 1/2 of garlic; stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes or until outside surface of beef is no longer pink. Remove from skillet; keep warm. Repeat with remaining beef and garlic.

I enjoyed the meal but would have like it more if there were more spices. It was quick and easy and you can use a wide range of beef cuts for the recipe. For those less tender cuts, I would suggest you marinade them to help tenderize the beef.

This is certainly a 'quick and easy' recipe to pull together after work. All segments of the recipe are offered as convenience items and you can pull them together with just the flavors you enjoy. We like to cook some edamame in the shell to start with as our appetizer. Fun meal!

Great weeknight recipe! I used the beef labeled "stir-fry" at the grocery store and it was already cut into thin strips. Served with a small cucumber salad - perfect meal for the family!

Easy to cook - would be easy to change up to make family happy if you had picky eaters. Something I would pick up on the way home from work and cook quickly!
