Cut the meat and veggies ahead of time so that when suppertime rolls around it doesn't take much to get this dish ready for the table.
3 sirloin steaks, cut in strips
reserved accumulated juices
1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
2 tbsps. soya sauce
olive oil
pepper and ginger
1/2 Vidalia onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, slivered
3 fresh green beans, julienned
2 carrots, sliced
1/2 each red and green pepper
2 spears fresh pineapple, but in chunks
1 cup broccoli flowerets
1 tbsps. cornstarch
Mix sweet chili sauce and soya sauce and marinade the beef strips for 4-6 hours.
Heat olive oil in a wok or deep frying pan and add the beef . Sprinkle with ginger and pepper. Stir-fry until no longer pink . Remove from pan. Reserve any juices (about 1/4 - 1/2 cup) and set aside.
Heat some olive oil in the pan and add onion and garlic. Cook 2 minutes.
Now add the green beans and carrots. If using raw broccoli add it now too. Add 1/4 cup water to the pan and cover, cook 3-4 minutes.
Next toss in the red and green pepper, as well as the pineapple. If you have previously cooked broccoli (like I had) add it now along with the beef. And cook 2-3 minutes longer.
Take 1 tbsp of cornstarch and whisk in 2 tbsps. of cold water.
Add this to the previously reserved pan juices. Make a well in the center of the veg and meat in the pan and pour in the cornstarch mixture, whisk. Stir together and cook a further 2-3 minutes. Dinner......ready in no time !

It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!
