Beef stir fry can be a lot of fun. A tablespoon of oil will give you some vital fats not in the meat or vegetables. It's generally a summer meal when you need a quick, light, and nutrient dense meal. A great way to use pieces of leftover vegetables that aren't even enough for a serving by themselves. Never the same twice with peas, carrots, and beans of all sorts, or even squash fresh from the garden. Caramelized onions and mushrooms are the base for this dish.
