Well, still playing catch-up and I really haven’t made much progress I guess! This week was a bit of a wash on the catching-up game, but at least I cooked one meal this week! I had found a pack of stir fry beef at the Wednesday farmers market at the Mill at Anselma and decided to run with it. So, Saturday, I grabbed peppers and mushrooms, found an onion in the fridge, and decided to give this recipe a try. I omitted the oyster sauce (because EEW GROSS OYSTERS), and ended up only using honey, soy sauce, pepper, and wine for the sauce which worked out just fine. I suppose most folks would’ve served the beef over rice, but since rice isn’t local, I stir fried the crimini mushrooms, onions, and peppers separately which made a nice base for the beef. Now, I’m not a terribly huge fan of beef, but in a stir fry, this was honestly really good, and the sauce came out just perfectly – sweet and a little salty. This may be something I have to add into regular rotation in the kitchen!
