Thai Beef with Mint and Basil
Thai Beef with Mint and Basil is a rich dish full of typical Thai flavors, it is based on the Thai dish Nue Gra Pao. Flank steak works best for this dish, as it takes to the hearty marinade and sauce and does not shred while stir-frying, though you can use chuck steak as well. Serve Thai Beef with Mint and Basil with Spicy Sichuan Chili Crisp, for those who want more heat, lime wedges, and white rice or cauliflower rice, if you’re carb-conscious, accompanied by a crisp, dry rosé wine.
Prep Time: 30 minutes, Total Time: 45 minutes plus marinating time. Serves: 4.

Beef and Bok Choy Stir-Fry
Beef and Bok Choy Stir-Fry combines elements from Chinese, Japanese and Indonesian cooking to produce a dish of intriguing flavors. You can use a lean cut of beef for this recipe but more marbleized cut of beef, like boneless chuck, will taste better. The marinade/sauce will also work very well with pork. We recommend a light appetizer like Heirloom Tomato Caprese Salad to start. Serve Beef and Bok Choy Stir-Fry with fluffy steamed rice or as is, if you’re carb-conscious, accompanied by a crisp, dry rosé wine. We think “Beef ‘n Bok” will become a favorite of at your home.
Prep Time: see below, Total Time: 1 hour plus marinating time. Serves: 2.

Beef and Green Beans Stir-Fry
The inspiration for our Beef and Green Beans Stir-Fry came from a Chinese cooking class Jan’s mom took in the Netherlands when he was in grade school. It was a special dish his parents would prepare together for themselves on the weekends, as this was considered “not food for kids”; the kids had more everyday fare during those meals. Well, Jan did get to taste it a few times and I loved it; he still does so today. Jan recalls that the original recipe called for 1 tablespoon of sherry, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and a ½ clove of garlic as the marinade; the garlic was revolutionary for Dutch cooking in the 60s!
Easy to prepare, Beef and Green Beans Stir-Fry is a great weeknight dinner; you can prepare the marinade and marinate the beef in the morning too. Start out with a quick and easy to prepare Sicilian Orange Salad for a juicy, sweet and savory beginning to your meal. Enjoy this great dish with white rice or rice noodles or, for a Keto experience, use shirataki noodles or just as is.
Prep Time: 30 minutes, Total Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes plus marinating time. Serves: 4.
