I love Stir Fry:  Simple.  Easy.  Healthy.  This steak stir fry is one of our favorites, we eat often.   {Steak is always popular at my house.}

This delicious stir fry is hearty enough for cold, winter nights; but I especially love it on hot, summer days when I don’t want to spend a lot of time cooking – less than 30 minutes to have dinner on the table, and you don’t have to heat up the oven.  Gotta love it!  If you are a fan of stir fry, you’ll also want to try Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry with Noodles or Hoisin Beef and Scallion Stir Fry.
