Seasoning Ingredients- 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 Tbsp Oligosaccharide
- 1 Tbsp Plum Extract
- 1 Tbsp Mirin (Cooking Wine)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Beef is packed with essential amino acids that are crucial for growing children, which is why it’s recommended to include it in their diet regularly. A quick stir-fry with fresh vegetables makes a complete meal, requiring no other side dishes. This recipe uses ingredients that kids love, ensuring they enjoy every bite.
Step 2
For the beef, choose tender sirloin that’s easy for children to chew. First, trim away any visible fat. Then, dice the beef into approximately 1.5 cm cubes. Cutting it into bite-sized pieces will make it easier for children to eat and help the sauce penetrate for better flavor.
Step 3
Prepare colorful and vitamin-rich bell peppers and fragrant mushrooms, or any vegetables your child enjoys. Core and chop the bell peppers into bite-sized pieces (about 1.5 cm), and trim the ends of the mushrooms before slicing them similarly. Feel free to add other vegetables like onions or broccoli.
Step 4
Now, let’s make the delicious sauce for our stir-fry. In a bowl, combine 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp sesame oil, 1 Tbsp minced garlic, 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide, 1 Tbsp plum extract, and 1 Tbsp mirin (cooking wine). Whisk everything together until well combined. This sauce will enhance the flavors of the vegetables and beef.
Step 5
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add a little cooking oil. Add the prepared vegetables and stir-fry quickly. Aim to keep the vegetables slightly crisp rather than letting them become completely soft and mushy. Stir-frying over high heat helps preserve their fresh taste and nutrients.
Step 6
Once the vegetables are about halfway cooked, add the diced beef and continue to stir-fry together. When the beef is fully cooked, pour in the prepared sauce and stir everything quickly until well combined. Finally, add 1 Tbsp of olive oil and 1 Tbsp of olive brine from the can to add richness and depth of flavor. These additions will make the dish even more savory.
Step 7
And there you have it – a wonderful ‘Beef and Olive Vegetable Stir-fry’! By incorporating beef, vegetables, and olives, you’re providing your child with a truly healthy and satisfying meal. The vibrant colors and delicious taste are sure to be a hit with kids.
Step 8
For a delightful variation, try adding fresh tomatoes. Top the stir-fried beef and vegetables with chopped tomatoes and a drizzle of balsamic dressing. This transforms the dish into a delicious ‘Beef Salad’ that both children and adults will love.
Step 9
This ‘Beef and Olive Vegetable Stir-fry’ is not only a fantastic side dish for growing children but also a perfectly balanced and nutritious meal option for adults. It’s great with rice, and can also be enjoyed alongside bread or as part of a salad.
