Beef Stir Fry with Green Beans

My husband couldn’t get enough of this beef and green bean stir-fry I made the other day for dinner. He asked if he could have the left-overs for lunch at work the next day. He wasn’t the only one; I also brought this delicious stir-fry for lunch at work too. The tender and flavorful beef with the crunchy green beans over steamed rice was really enjoyable.
