Easy Spicy Beef Stir Fry

100% Grass Fed Beef  can be a part of a healthy diet.  Full of Omega 3 fatty acids and natural saturated fats, Grass Fed Beef contains a variety of natural fats we need to stay healthy.  Fat helps fill us up and makes our food taste great.  All cells in our body contain an essential fat-rich outer phospholipid layer.  I buy my Grass Fed Beef from Holy Cow Beef.  They are a Christian ranch family in West Texas that deliver to the Dallas Ft Worth area once a month.

I adapted this easy spicy beef stir fry recipe from the cookbook, “The Frugal Gourmet,” by Jeff Smith.  It is delicious!  Make it next time you want stir fry.
