Beef With Green Beans

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Yum! The hardest part is getting the meat and veggies cut up, otherwise comes along quite quickly. I was hesitant to use so much pepper... hubby isn't a fan of black pepper and also feeding it to my young'ins. used 1 tsp of watkins pepper and found it a tad spicy for my tastes. Surprisingly hubby thought it was perfect! I followed the recipe except switching out the mirin for wine vinegar. I was ready to add some broth to make it more saucy but the water with the beans actually made enough for me. It seemed as authentic (and more healthy tasting) as a chinese restaurant entree. I think one could cut time even more by microwaving the beans instead of the first step but to make sure that there is some water to mix in at the end to make the sauce come together right.

    Beef With Green Beans, We really enjoyed this super easy dinner which was printed in the newspaper (originally from Easy Chinese Stir-fries). Although I think you can cut the oil in half this isn’t bad calorie wise using the amount listed. Also this seems like a lot of pepper but this really isn’t a spicy dish — I think the pepper tenderizes the meat some how., Yum!
