I recently bought this package of frozen vegetables from the freezer section at Costco. I bought it because it contains some of my favorite vegetables like broccoli, snow peas, water chestnuts and shitake mushrooms. I have been using it since then because I find it a cheaper and convenient way to enjoy mixed vegetables. I have used it so many times; it is always in my biweekly shopping list. Sometimes I just stir-fry it as is or add chicken, pork or beef as the main protein. In this recipe, I used inside round steak and added shanghai noodles as well. This recipe is so flexible, you can use any kind of steak, mixed vegetables and noodles. It is an easy meal to whip up on a busy weekday without much effort. Enjoy!
- 1 (600g) packaged fresh shanghai noodles or your favorite noodles
- 1 lb inside round steak, sliced across the grain into strips
- 4 tbsp olive oil, divided

- Heat wok or skillet over medium high heat. Add 2 tbsp olive oil; swirl to coat sides of skillet. Add beef and stir-fry for 5 minutes or until juice from beef has evaporated and beef is browned. Transfer beef to a plate and set aside.
