So after several months of avoiding the kitchen, I went back the other night and tonight. The other night I made homemade meatballs in homemade sauce-- awesome.
Tonight I tried something different-- honey glazed beef and vegetable stir-fry.
Oh my sugar cookies it was off the hook! Everyone went up for 2nds and 3rds. The honey was an amazing addition to the norm. Even once my plate was done, I drizzled more honey on it.
In a large bowl I combined about 4tbs of soy sauce 1tbs of vegetable oil, 1tbs of cornstarch, and about 2tbs of honey.
I thinly sliced the beef cubes [about 2pds] and added the them to the soy mixture. Allowed them to marinate for 30mins covered in the fridge.
Meanwhile, I began to stir-fry the vegetables- broccoli, watercresents, baby corn, shredded carrots, thinly sliced red pepper and french green beans. It was about 4c. of vegetables in total.
After the vegetables became tender, I transfered them to a bowl and heated a bit of oil in the empty wok. I then began to stir-fry half of the beef stripes. Once they were done, I transfered them over to the bowl of vegetables, and began cooking up the remaining half of the beef.
Once the beef was cooked enough that I was able to safely taste it, I did so and drizzled additional honey on it.
I combined the beef and vegetables together and bam. All done.
I made parboiled white rice to go along with it. Cooked that up with some olive oil, parsley, pepper, salt, and butter.
So yeah, Alhumdulilah dinner was bangin.
The picture isn't because I already began eating it when I remembered to take a picture.
