Recipe Tips and Substitutions

• If you have a strong aversion to Brussels sprouts, then you can turn this into a beef and broccoli stir fry instead.
• Peanut oil is listed as an ingredient, however, vegetable oil can be used instead. Peanut oil is often used in stir fry recipes because it has a high smoke point allowing for food to cook faster.
• Add bell peppers or snow peas if desired.
• Serve over brown rice, cauliflower rice, or noodles.

Is This Beef Stir Fry Keto?

As is? No, it does not fit into the Keto diet. If you swap out avocado oil for the peanut oil and omit the sugar, then this works for your Keto diet! Eat it as is or with cauliflower rice.

Can I Freeze This Beef Stir Fry?

Yes, you could stir fry your vegetables and then freeze them to be reheated in the microwave. Stir frying still kills the enzymes that would cause them to over-ripen in the freezer. Don’t over cook them because freezing will soften them more, just stir fry until ‘crisp tender. Do not freeze the rice.

Keep this dish in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.

To reheat, allow the bag to thaw in the fridge. Heat a large skillet and warm up the stir fry in the skillet or use the microwave, stirring as you heat.
