Asian Beef and Green Bean Stir-fry #SundaySupper

I love Asian meals for so many reasons… easy, packed with veggies, many are one pot but most of all SO tasty! This Asian Beef and Green Bean Stir-fry is delicious, nutritious and dinner is on the table in no time at all. 

If you grew up in a Portuguese household, you would understand what I am going to attempt to explain. A week doesn’t go by without some type of carne picada being served.  It is a true Portuguese staple in every busy household. I am often amazed this type of meat is not more common in American homes. It is a true life saver for moms looking for a nutritious dinner on the table without all the fuss and clean-up. Something I could totally relate to during football season and beyond.

The question I am most often asked when I share carne picada recipes is – how could I possibly slice my meat so thin? Here’s the thing, you don’t actually slice your meat, you have the butcher at your local grocer grind it for you or if you have your own meat grinder, you can do it yourself.  The thing is, carne picada isn’t your typical ground meat but it is not sliced by hand. I have been known to make nice with my local butcher and tell him to run boneless sirloin through the grinder using a larger hole plate.

Believe it or not, I do have an old fashioned meat grinder at home and sometimes I do it myself. Especially when a larger quantity of quality beef is on sale. I cube the beef and put it through the grinder and freeze portions for later use. Trust me when I tell you, it does not last very long around here. We love carne picada! While many times carne picada is thought to be cheap meat, that is not the case. Choose your favorite boneless cut, I love using quality flank steak or boneless sirloin.

I mostly use Carne Picada for Portuguese meals, and love coming up with a new spin. When the Sunday Supper Tastemakers suggested we whip up some Asian recipes, I knew I couldn’t wait to try carne picada with an Asian flare. I love stir-frys because they are so quick and easy to prepare and love to pile on the veggies. My kids also love anything in a “bowl” and enjoy the Asian flavor in this dish.
