The cut of meat we are using for today’s featured recipe is skirt steak, which is a cut of beef from the diaphragm muscle. Skirt steak is a very economically friendly cut and can be prepared to create a fantastic explosion of flavor!
Between planning for holiday celebrations and balancing everyone’s schedules, it can be hard to find time to sit down to a great meal that isn’t just thrown in the crockpot. Now, don’t get me wrong, as a college student I love crockpot meals. They’re easy and flexible, but sometimes it’s nice to get a little fancy without having to go out on the town!
Stir fry is a great way to provide a meal a little more unique with fair priced cuts of beef that also slip vegetables into everyone’s diet.

2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Sriracha or other hot sauce, or rice wine vinegar for garnish (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:

Tip: You can save the dark green parts of scallions for a beautiful garnish!
In a small bowl, mix chicken broth, 2 tablespoons water, remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce and cornstarch.
