Sesame Beef Stir-Fry minus the picture

Oops! We totally downed this yummy dinner tonight before I flew out the door to church with Little Girl and forgot to take a picture of this meal.

Duh!!

Baby Boy is sick.....again.....still.......continually.....oh my word this season!!! He already had one round of a 6 day fever and then he had a break of about a week and now he is doing it again. I thought he was better as of Tuesday and then, BAM, 104 fever strikes again every day without fail. Heading to the doctor tomorrow.

I blame the fever on the lack of picture.

So, anyway. Let me just tell you how yummy this meal is AND good for you. It gives you the feel that you are eating something naughty and from a Chinese take-out place, minus all the calories. Again, this is one of those recipes where you NEED Sesame Oil to give it all the great asian flavor, so don't substitute!

Well, trust me that it was yummy and also very pretty to look at.

Here's the recipe for your enjoyment. It's from a "Body for Life" cookbook that we bought like 7 years ago when Dave lost a bunch of weight with it and we still cook about 10 of their recipes. They are so good!!

Let me know if you try it.

Sesame Beef Stir Fry - from "Body for Life"

2 portions brown rice (About 1/2 cup uncooked)
2 portions lean ground beef (about 1/2 pound)
1 Tbsp toased sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 green onions, sliced
1 cup broccoli slaw
1 cup napa cabbage
1 Tbsp lite soy sauce
Crushed red pepper flakes, to taste

Cook your brown rice according to directions. While it's cooking, brown your meat, drain and set aside. In same pan, add Sesame oil and saute green onions and garlic for 2 minutes. Add your broccoli slaw and napa cabbage and saute for 2 more minutes. Add back in your meat and your cooked rice and toss together in your pan. Add Soy sauce and crushed red pepper flakes and serve.

Side note: I use WAY more soy sauce than they say. We like the Soy!

Parents Review: Love it!
Kids Review: I just separate them out some of the meat, the brown rice and some peas. They wouldn't eat it with all the green in there and all of the flavors. They are a simple folk. :-)
