Teriyaki Beef & Veggie Stirfry ~ NEW 31 Days of FreezEasy Meals

Fakeout-Takeout Straight Outta the Freezer!

BOOM.

This is super delicious and freezes and thaws beautifully. The steak strips soak in the teriyaki sauce while it thaws, infusing all the delicious flavors deep into the meat. Stir-fry and drop over some rice — amazing and simple weeknight dinner.

Pro Freezer Cooking Tip: Get the steak that is pre-cut into strips at the grocery store. “Beef for Stir-fry” is how my store labels the package. You could purchase a sirloin steak and slice it yourself (across the grain!!!), but that’s an extra step that isn’t necessary. When you’re putting together 10-20 freezer meals at once, you want it to be fast and smooth – and pre-sliced meat helps with that!

And I love sesame seeds, so I’m always dousing my homemade-fakeout-takeout with sesame seeds!
