Sweet-Potato Beef Stir-Fry

Ingredients

  1. 1 lb eye round beef steak, sliced 1/8 inch thick, then cut into 1-inch strips
    ½ tsp sesame seed oil
    1 tbsp unsweetened apple butter
    1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
    ½ tsp red pepper flakes (I used ½ of this)
    2 garlic cloves, crushed
    1 ½ inch slice fresh ginger, crushed
    2 cups sweet potato, diced into 1-inch chunks
    1 cup green beans
    1 tsp olive oil
    1 medium onion, thinly sliced

Directions

In a large bowl, mix beef with sesame seed oil, apple butter, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.

Bring 3 cups water to boil in a medium pot over high heat. Add sweet potato, cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until soft but still firm. Remove sweet potato with strainer or slotted spoon; do not drain water. Return water to a boil. Add beans and boil for 4 minutes, until soft but firm. Drain.

Add olive oil to a large wok or skillet over high heat. Once hot, add beef mixture and onion, tossing quickly until done, about 3 or 4 minutes. Then toss in sweet potatoes and beans. Cook for 1 more minute. Serve.
