30-Minute Low-Carb Sesame Vegetable Beef Stir Fry

June 18, 2018 by Faith 2 Comments

30-Minute Low-Carb Sesame Vegetable Beef Stir Fry is a great way to get a healthy family-friendly meal on the table fast!

When all else fails and you and/or the fam are on the verge of hangry, stir fry is the perfect answer. It’s a great way to get a nutritious meal on the table fast, and you can also use it as a tool to clean out the fridge (swap in veggies that need to get used up!). And as a bonus over take-out, homemade stir fry isn’t loaded with sugar, MSG, and gluten.

How to Make Stir Fry

Stir fry is very easy to make, even if you don’t have a wok! Here are the basic steps:

  • Preheat your pan (wok or deep-sided skillet) over medium-high to high heat.
  • Add your oil (something with a high smoke point).
  • Brown your meat.
  • Sauté your veggies.
  • Stir in your sauce and cook a minute or so.
  • Serve!

What Kind of Vegetables to Use in Stir Fry

Most vegetables work really well in stir fry, just be mindful of a couple things: 1) the harder the vegetable, the longer it needs to cook, and 2) try to cut things in bite-sized pieces. I like to add my veggies in stages based on how long it takes each to cook. Here are a few of my favorite veggies to add to stir fry:

  • Asparagus
  • Bell peppers
  • Broccoli
  • Cabbage
  • Carrot
  • Celery
  • Mushrooms
  • Onion
  • Snap peas or snow peas
  • Zucchini

What Kind of Beef to Use in Stir Fry

Normally I would use something like sirloin, flank steak, or skirt steak (thinly sliced across the grain, and then marinated before being cooked). In this recipe I used ground beef for a couple reasons: 1) to show just how versatile stir fry is, and 2) it’s what I had on hand!

Swapping out Chicken Breast for the Beef in This Beef Stir Fry Recipe

This is an easy swap to make! Thinly slice your chicken breast cross-wise. Add it to the hot skillet and cook until browned on both sides and no longer pink in the middle. Transfer it to a plate for now, and then add it back into the stir fry at the same time you add the sauce.

What to Serve with Beef Stir Fry

I find some kind of rice (or low-carb rice substitute) or pilaf works well to serve alongside stir fry! Here are a few ideas:

  • Quinoa Pilaf from Laughing Spatula
  • The Easiest Egg Fried Rice from Healthy Nibbles and Bits
  • Asian Rice Pilaf from Lisa’s Dinnertime Dish
  • Low-Carb Herbed Cauliflower “Rice” with Pine Nuts from An Edible Mosaic
