Weeknight go-to meal

Bok-Choy

Korean Beef Bok Choy is undoubtedly my go-to, easy weeknight meal. It’s inexpensive, ridiculously easy to create and oh-so delicious… but I could eat bok choy every day.

While it’s definitely more of a winter vegetable, you can find this member of the cabbage family all year round. It’s rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, and calcium, with a variety of texture from the soft leaves to the crunchy stalks.

Korean Beef Bok Choy

Ingredients

  • 4 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 12-oz beef flank steak
  • 1⁄3 cup Korean teriyaki stir-fry sauce
  • 1-1⁄4 lb baby bok choy, larger leaves removed and quartered, centers quartered lengthwise
  • Serve with: rice (I prefer brown)
  • Crushed red pepper and Sriracha for taste

Directions

  1. Cut steak diagonally across the grain in 1⁄4-in.-thick slices.
  2. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until rippling. Add half the meat; stir-fry 30 seconds until no longer pink. Remove to a bowl. Repeat with another teaspoon oil and rest of meat. Add to bowl; stir in 2 tablespoon stir-fry sauce.
  3. Add 2 more teaspoons oil to skillet, then bok choy. Stir-fry 30 seconds. Add 3 tablespoons water; cover and steam 1 minute. Uncover, add remaining sauce and stir-fry 1 minute until bok choy is crisp-tender.
  4. Add meat and juices; stir-fry 30 seconds to heat through. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper, if desired. I always add some Sriracha—the best hot sauce!
