Good Eats

beef stir fry with white rice


steamed okra, brussels sprouts, butternut squash
I thought you might like to see what I've been cooking and eating lately. The first photo has my stir fried beef with white rice, I will often buy the stir fry beef strips pre-cut when they are 30% off at the grocery store and make them the same day.

The second photo represents 3 servings of vegetables for me that day. I cut the ends off the tips of the okra and steam them for 7 minutes and they are just perfect. The sweetness of the butternut squash goes well with any of the greens. The brussels sprouts are a work in progress. These were steamed but I think I will blanche them the next time as I prefer them to be more tender without being overcooked. The butternut squash was microwaved. I season all the vegetables with olive oil, salt, pepper and oregano or basil.
