Ingredients 

  • 1 – 1 ½ pounds boneless sirloin steak, cut into thin strips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 bunches green onions, tops cut into 2-inch pieces, cut the white portion in half lengthwise
  • ½ cup unsulphered molasses
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • Hot cooked rice, for serving

Instructions 

  • In a large skillet or wok, stir fry the beef in oil for 4-5 minutes. Add the green onions, molasses, salt, and cayenne.
  • Stir fry the mixture for 4-5 minutes or until heated through.
  • Serve over rice.

Notes

  • If you prefer, you can also cut the beef into bite-sized cubes (about 1/2-inch to 1-inch cubes).
  • Make this dish even easier and faster by looking for beef stir-fry meat in your grocer’s meat case.
  • Try this recipe with fresh broccoli, bell pepper with onion, fresh snow peas, or fresh green beans in place of the green onions.
  • For a thinner sauce, omit the salt and add a few tablespoons of soy sauce.
