Flank steak, vegetables and fresh spinach leaves cooked in peanut oil and served over brown rice... sounds like Naomi Judd's on-the-road, go-to meal!

The Judds airs Sundays at 10/9c.









Ingredients:

(makes 4 servings)

  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil, or more as needed
  • 1/2 pound flank steak, thinly sliced across the grain
  • 2 medium carrots, trimmed, and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli pieces (optional)
  • 1 cup green beans, in pieces (optional)
  • 1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
  • 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 cup snow peas, strings removed
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 4 ounces fresh spinach leaves (5 cups tightly packed), washed and tough stems removed
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice


Directions:
1. In a large wok or nonstick skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add the meat and stir-fry until no longer pink, about 1 minute. Remove the meat. Add the carrots, the broccoli and green beans, if using, the water chestnuts, mushrooms, onion, and ginger, and more oil if needed. Stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.

2. Return the meat to the wok and stir in the snow peas and soy sauce. Cover with spinach leaves, then cover the wok and heat through until the spinach is wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve over brown rice.
