Ingredients

• 1 slab of beef (enough to serve your desired number of portions)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Rice, for serving
• Optional: Vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli (if you have them)

Cooking Instructions

1. Marinate the Beef:

   • If you have time, slice your beef into thin strips. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Add the beef and let it marinate for at least 20-30 minutes. If you can, leave it in the fridge for a couple of hours or overnight for best flavor.

2. Cook the Rice:

   • While the beef is marinating, prepare your rice according to the package instructions.

3. Stir-Fry:

   • Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
   • Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onion and sauté for about 2 minutes until they become translucent.
   • Add the marinated beef to the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until the beef is browned and cooked through.
   • If you have additional vegetables, stir them in and cook for another 2-3 minutes until tender.

4. Season:

   • Taste the stir-fry and season with salt and pepper as necessary.

5. Serve:

   • Serve the stir-fry hot over a bed of fluffy rice. Enjoy every bite!
