Chinese New Year Dish– Veggie and Flank Steak Stir Fry Recipe

Stir Fry is  a great way to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Like the Shrimp Stir Fry Recipe I shared in a previous post, the sauce really makes up the recipe as you can change-up any of the veggies that suit your family. I adapted this Flank Steak stir fry recipe from Justrecipes.com and doubled it to serve my family of five.

There were only veggies left in the dish. I served it with brown rice I started in the rice cooker as I was cutting up veggies.

Chinese New Year Dish– Veggie and Flank Steak Stir Fry Recipe

I was a little worried about the flavoring of this recipe,  as many recipes suggested marinating the flank steak first. I picked this Chinese New Year dish to try since this was a little last-minute.

Make sure your flank steak is very cold, you could even stick it in the freezer a few minutes to ease the chore of slicing it thin.

Flank steak does cook quickly so be sure and watch it and doesn’t allow it to overcook or you will have a tough piece of meat.

Enjoy and curious about the veggie combination your family chooses. If you use broccoli I might blanche it first.
