Well, I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and an even better weekend! I had a couple extra days off of work and am ready to face the world again.... I think :) Either way, the show must go on, right, so here we are ... Monday has arrived and with it, a new tasty recipe. This stir fry was simple and delicious. My two favorites things to come out of the kitchen! The only thing I was disappointed in was the fact that I cut the steak funny. Not so funny enough that it was tough, it's just not as pretty as it would have been had the slices been thinner. Oh well.. if that's the worse of it, I think I did pretty well... don't you?

This is exactly what I need to do with a piece of thin-cut ribeye I have frozen. One-dish meals are my friend.
ReplyDeleteGlad your problem is gone. I like the color the spinach brings to this dish complimenting the red pepper.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back! I know I'm making this tonight!
ReplyDeleteYou know I am all over the stir fry ideas! This looks delicious and the meat looks perfect to me. It doesn't seem to matter how thin I slice meat, once it is cooked it always looks funny to me!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! It looks like a simple and delicious dish.
ReplyDeleteWell, if you would quit hosting "those questionable web sites" on your picasa account, you'd be fine (ha ha ha).
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of laughter, you steak doesn't look too funny to me ;) Great looking dish Jenn.
You're right, going back to work was tough this week.
I was going to make a beef stirfry for dinner, but by the time we got home we'd eaten so many cashews and mixed nuts that neither of us was hungry for dinner. Now I'm glad that happened, for I can make your honey balsamic beef stir fry tomorrow night! Thanks, Jenn. and glad things are working on Blogger again. Such a pain, huh!
ReplyDeleteYum, looks good. I will give it a try. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou always do a nice job and that steak looks good to me. And this recipe sounds like a good one. I'm with Big Dude, the pepper and spinach make this a nice looking dish. So glad your problems are fixed. I need to answer your email.
ReplyDeleteAnother winner from the Sauce Queen! I loved this Jenn and had to post about it, but I totally linked back to you. Thanks for the delicious recipe! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteAwhhh.. thanks so much Jeff! I got on your site and your pictures look better than mine - I'm jealous!!! Thanks for the shout out!
