Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds beef (flank steak, sirloin tip side steak), cut into thin strips
- Salt and pepper, for seasoning
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 red peppers, sliced
- 1 green pepper, sliced
- 1 large leek, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1/2 cup low-salt soy sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup Gruyere cheese, sliced into cubes
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 teaspoons parsley, chopped
- Rice for serving
Directions
- Season the beef with salt and pepper
- Place beef in a gallon-size freezer bag along with the cornstarch and shake the bag until all sides of steak pieces are coated. Seal bag, removing air.
- Place all the cut vegetables into a gallon-size freezer bag.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, water and brown sugar. Pour the sauce into a quart-size freezer bag. Seal bag, removing air.
- Place the cubed cheese into a quart-size freezer page. Seal bag, removing the air.
- Place sealed sauce bag into the vegetable bag as well as the sealed cheese bag. Seal the vegetable bag, removing air.
- Place the two gallon-size freezer bags into the freezer.
- When ready to cook the meal, thaw the bags (you can run them under warm water until the ingredients start to break up for a quicker thaw).
- Add the canola oil to the skillet and heat on medium high.
- Add the steak into the skillet, separating the pieces and cooking until the edges are browned (3-4 minutes),
- Add the vegetables from the freezer bag and cook until the vegetables are crisp, yet tender (3-4 minutes).
- Add the sauce from the freezer bag and stir thoroughly into the beef and vegetable mixture. Stir constantly and cook until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Take off the heat and sprinkle with cheese and parsley.
- Serve over rice.
