Clean Eating Ginger Beef

Whenever we eat Chinese food (which has been maybe 2 times in the past year), Mike always wants ginger beef. Because I'm new to cooking and eating beef, I decided I would take a stab at this Chinese food favourite.
I think this is going to become a weekly dinner in our house. There is SO much flavour and freshness, and it is a fairly quick meal to prepare.


Ingredients:
-fast fry beef cut into strips (I buy mine pre sliced from the grocery store it's pretty cheap!)
-1 cup low sodium chicken or beef broth
-2 tbsp low sodium tamari
-1 tbsp rice vinegar
-2 tbsp roasted sesame oil
-2 tbsp fresh grated ginger
-2 cloves fresh grated garlic
-fresh ground pepper to taste

-2 cups brown jasmine rice
-1pkg baby bok choi washed and steamed
-1 medium onion sliced
-mushrooms of your choice (I used white and portobella) sliced

1. Combine all ingredients for marinade (less sesame oil) and add beef. Marinate for any desired time. I let mine marinate for about 30 mins.
2. Sautee onion and mushroom in  1 tbsp sesame oil and set aside.
3. Steam baby bok choi (I always cut the ends off mine and use my steamer).
4. Cook rice according to package directions (I use a rice cooker).
5. Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil and add beef and marinade. Cook for 4-5 minutes until beef is cooked through. Add all veggies and cook for another few minutes.
6. Serve over rice and enjoy!
