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.
