Lean Beef stir fry(I guess...lol)

My mom decided that we have to start eating healthier this year so I've been trying out some recipes on my own. Just because I'm eating healthy doesn't mean it has to be boring lol

Ingredients:

  • 1 or 2lbs of lean beef
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 green or red pepper (or both)
  • 1 and 1/2 tablespoon of coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon seasoning salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 jalepeno pepper

Method:
  1. Wash meat, there should be little to no fat on this, but if there is, make sure you remove all of it, season meat with spices
  2. Chop your vegetables(look at the pictures below to see what size I had mine)
  3. In a large sauce pan pour your coconut oil and allow it to melt, then add in your meat and allow it to cook, after 20 minutes the meat should be all cooked and no longer pink, add in your vegetables. Let it cook for about 5-10 minutes, the stir fry should be ready by now. (You can season to your taste, if you prefer it more salty or less spicy)
PS: If you want this saucy(with some sauce), add 1/2 teaspoon of flour to 1/2 cup of water and add it to the meat, let it cook for 5 mins or until it thickens

Beef sauce

1 of my favorite accompaniment to go with fried rice. But it can also go well with white rice, yellow rice and even mashed potatoes.

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs beef chucks or whole
  • 1 green pepper
  • 1 onion
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 tablespoon of cornstarch or flour
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce 
  • Spices: (lawry's,maggi,black pepper,or any seasoning of your choice)
Method:
  1. If you have a whole beef, cut it into beef chunks, wash and season your beef and
  2. On medium heat, add the tablespoon of oil , "fry" the beef and allow it to cook for about 30 - 40minutes(When the meat is softened and no longer reddish/pinkish looking then its ready)
  3. Cut the carrots, green pepper and onions into medium chunks as shown below. 
  4. Add the tablespoon spoon of flour to1 or 1/2 a cup of water(depending on how much water there was to season the beef from the start) and pour it on your beef, allow it to cook for another 15mins, then add in the oyster sauce, when the sauce begins to thicken up adjust with spices for taste and add vegetables. 
PS: Don't add the vegetables too early otherwise they would get really soft & you might not even see them in the sauce
