A couple of things before this recipe. First, don’t buy “stir fry steak” that is pre-cut and pre-packaged unless you know the butcher really well. Most of that kind of stuff is the worst or “left over” cuts of meat that they have laying around. Get yourself a good lean cut of meat (I like lean strip or sirloin) and tenderize it well (beat it, basically) and then slice into small pieces, this will yield a great stir fry. Second, don’t cheap out on the balsamic vinegar, get a good grade of it, you won’t regret it.  Now that we have that out of the way, here we go:

Take a wok, warm it up and allow some Olivio Light to melt in it, add red, yellow and green peppers plus red onions and let them cook a bit, season with salt, pepper, basil and thyme. Add in your steak and let it cook until its seared on all sides but not quite done in the middle. Add in your spinach and then about three tablespoons of balsamic vinegar and cook it down. Finally, add in some already steamed green beans and stir well. This is pretty delicious and a really pretty dish. Enjoy!
