Sriracha Beef Stir-Fry with Broccoli and Cauliflower

I made this last night and it’s a winner! Stir fry is always a good option for a quick filling meal and we really liked the combination of the vegetables, beef and sauce in this dish.

Sriracha Chili Sauce is a little tangier, sweeter and thicker than most hot sauces so adjust the amount to cut down the “heat.” Freeze the beef for several minutes if it is hard to slice. Be sure not to overcook the vegetables since they will be simmering in the sauce later with the beef. Substitute chicken for the beef, that’s good also; add red bell peppers for color and a little more flavor.

This is satisfying and mighty tasty: much better than take-out and you know exactly what is in it!
