#Steakcation Alert: Try This Sizzlin’ Summer Stir-fry

May 20, 2017 By Lena

I admit that I’ve been a *little* distracted while writing this post, mainly because I keep going back for another taste of this delicious Steak Stir-fry. You know, just to make sure it’s as scrumptious as I remembered… from minutes ago.

Still tender, flavourful and chock full of fresh ingredients? Lemme check. Be right back.

You may not understand my obsession until you try this easy-to-make, family-pleasing dish for yourself.
The best part? I grabbed everything I needed from my favourite one-stop shop, Walmart Canada. Now, every cut of beef Walmart sells is 100% Canadian AAA Angus beef, so I can always find premium-quality, fresh beef at affordable prices. The beef is locally sourced from Canadian farms and ranches with ideal conditions for raising Angus beef cattle, and my purchase supports hard-working Canadians who care about sustainability and quality. 

At my local store, I found 100% Canadian AAA Angus Beef cuts including Strip Loin Steak, Boneless Sirloin Tri-Tip Steak, Beef Strip Loin Medallion, Bone in Strip Loin Steak, Beef Top Sirloin Steak and more, perfectly timed for the upcoming long weekend and the kick-off to barbecue season!

The recipe calls for top sirloin steak – a lean, healthy cut with the optimal amount of marbling for great flavour – and a variety of fresh ingredients to add colour and texture to the dish. I selected a package of four steaks, using two pieces for my recipe and saving the other two for grilling on the barbecue this weekend.
Here’s what you need:

1.5 lb. 100% Canadian AAA Angus top sirloin steak (cut into 1″ pieces)
½ lb Bell peppers julienned into strips
2 ears Sweet corn, shucked/kernels cut off
1 tbsp Fresh ginger, minced
3 Large garlic cloves, sliced
1 Lime
¼ cup Soy sauce
2 tbsp Sesame seeds
1 bunch Scallions
2 tbsp Sesame oil
Cooked Jasmine or Basmati rice

Here’s what you need to do:

In a wok or large sauté pan, sauté steak in sesame oil for two minutes. Add peppers, corn kernels, ginger and garlic.

Cook together for 5 minutes, then add lime and soy sauce. Divide cooked rice among four bowls. Top with stir-fry and garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds.
In the past, I’ve used lower grade cuts of beef in stir-fry dishes, thinking that marinating the meat would help tenderize and break down the toughness. And frankly, it did work – but not well. However, I’ve now realized that there’s truly no substitute for using a quality cut of AAA Angus beef. The top sirloin from Walmart was tender, melt-in-your-mouth perfect.

Am I obsessed? Let’s just say my taste buds are still in #Steakcation mode.
The prep work took less than 15 minutes and total cooking time was roughly the same, making this an authentic 30-minute meal. It will become a new staple for busy weeknights!

Try 100% Canadian AAA Angus beef at your local Walmart or Walmart.ca; I know you’ll love it. Walmart also offers a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee: If you are not fully satisfied with the quality and freshness of any fresh beef product, simply bring it back with your receipt for a full refund.

Better Quality. Same Low Prices. The beef has changed. The prices remain low. What’s not to love?

    Yes, the steak is great quality but it is considerably more expensive than the AA non-angus steak being sold previously. Very good value for AAA Angus, however.
    As for the recipe, any beef needs at the very least a quick marinade when stir frying that includes corn starch to give the beef it’s ‘velvet’ texture and nice gloss you expect from a stir fry.

    Steak has become so expensive lately but Walmart always has a fair price on their beef. I find I’m doing a lot of my grocery shopping there now. This recipe looks like a year-round staple for us!

    I love a good stir fry. I’m vegetarian so in our house the meat is cooked separately from the veggies and then everyone can take what they like!

    I went and got some of this beef and used it to make goulash, very tasty too. I love goulash too and it keeps well and is freezable – that’s important to me since I’m on my own and don’t fancy eating the same thing day in day out.

  54. Janet M

    September 13, 2017 at 7:12 pm

    I was looking for a recipe like this. Thank you.
