This stir fry from the Kendall Reagan Nutrition Center is bursting with flavor with lots of fresh vegetables and beef coated in an Asian-inspired sauce with ginger and chives. Serve with brown rice for a quick, filling meal.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons chives, chopped
1 pound flank steak, sliced into thin strips
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
½ cup carrots, sliced
¼ cup soy sauce or tamari (if gluten free)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
2 cups cooked brown rice 

Directions

1. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok on medium-high heat. Add ginger and chives and cook for 1 minute.
