There should be no difference
between the way you live
and the way you cook.
In the end both are just
a game of chance. Both are
only fun if you do it with all
your heart. And both get
better with age. So live your
life to the top and let it boil over,
and remember every mistake
makes a recipe.

Mama's BBQ Stir-Fry

 

First thing to know:

                       I love rice.

If there is a way to add rice into a meal I will do so. I have to tell myself over and over again to stop making it a "rice dish" because if I don't tell myself that......everything I make would be a "Rice dish". You think I'm kidding but I swear to you I am not.

What you'll need
2 bell peppers (red, green, yellow, orange, whatever floats your boat)
1 Large Onion
1 lb thinly cut steak (whatever cut you like)
3 gloves of Garlic
1 tsp ground pepper
pinch of salt
1/4 cup Soy Sauce
1 cup your favorite BBQ sauce
3 tbsp butter
Rice.

Rules:
      Always start your rice first in your rice cooker....Don't have a rice cooker? Go get one. No really this won't work if you don't have a rice cooker because truly they are the most amazing kitchen item ever.
cut all your veggies first, then your garlic, then with the same knife (but on a different cutting board) cut up you steak. The less dishes you can use from the start the happier you will be when you're all finished.
since your rice is in the rice cooker everything else can be done in 1 pot.


In a large Skillet add butter, peppers, and onions.
let all these cook for about 3-4 minutes on medium high heat.
Add your steak, garlic, ground pepper and pinch of salt. Cook for another 3 minutes
Then while meat is still cooking add Soy Sauce. Cook for 3 more minutes of until meat is done.
Add in BBQ and cook until everything is heated though (meaning that the BBQ sauce you just added is now all hot and bothered) Give it a small taste. If the BBQ sauce is too overpowering add a little more Soy Sauce.
Let simmer on low heat until rice is done which shouldn't be long (if you're using a rice cooker)
When rice is done spoon desired amount over rice and enjoy.
