Lazy Ginger Beef Bowls

Published: by · This post may contain affiliate links · 2 Comments

If your favourite Chinese takeout dish isn't Ginger Beef, than can we even be friends? Making Ginger Beef at home isn't super hard but achieving the same flavour with about 1/10th the effort is my idea of a perfect weeknight meal.

Why is this Ginger Beef so lazy?

This meal takes 20 MINUTES. You can't even order pizza and have it on your table that quick so please save this recipe because your future self with give you a high five if you do. Regular ginger beef is a whole lotta slicing and dipping and frying. This is seriously brown the beef add some sauce badda boom badda bing your ginger beef is done.
