When I’ve had a long day and my husband and I both look at each other and ask ‘What’s for Dinner?’ the answer is usually Chinese takeout.

When we order take out I prefer just a couple of egg rolls, so this is one of my favorite Asian Meals to make at home, and very frugal!

All the ingredients combined cost me less than $10.00 this week at Harris Teeter! Not only is this meal frugal and full of flavor, it can be done and on the table in less than 15 minutes cook time.

Ingredients

• 1 medium head of cabbage, cut into thin strips.
• 4-5 carrots shredded
• 1lb ground pork ( you can also do ground chicken, sausage, or beef)
• 1 green onion
• House of Tsang Stir Fry Sauce

Directions

• Cut your cabbage into strips.
• Shred 4-5 carrots (I use a shredder with a box attached to catch the carrots)
• Cut 1-2 green onion
• Brown your ground pork on medium in oil, I used HT Traders Sesame Oil that I had on hand, but you can use regular cooking or olive oil, whatever you have on hand. Ground pork is often lean so it needs a little oil to cook.
• After the meat is done add your cabbage and saute until tender (usually five minutes).
• Add in carrots and saute for a few more minutes.
• Lastly, add in a little stir fry sauce. I really love the flavor of House of Tsang! Or you can use a little soy sauce. And throw the green onions on top.

That’s it! Serve in a bowl, and eat with a fork (or a pair of festive chopsticks if your feeling really authentic.)

I hope your family enjoys this recipe as much as mine does.

 

 

I really, really love when London Broil is on sale. This week’s deal is to good to pass up! Not only is the price AMAZING, but it feeds a crowd.

I know it can also be an intimidating piece of meat, and if your wondering what to do with it I have some fail proof tips that will help you make the best Grilled London Broil.

Score the meat. First you want to score your meat on both sides. (That’s just tiny diamond shape cuts throughout the meat on both sides.) It helps tenderize the meat and helps it cook evenly.

Marinade the meat. Honestly the longer the better (up to 24 hours), but it’s totally fine if you just have 30 minutes or so. I used Harris Teeter’s Marinade. They are the BEST! This was the Steak & Chop Marinade.

Let it rest. Let your meat sit out for 15 minutes before cooking so it is not extremely cold. This helps with even cooking.

Heat the grill. Make sure your grates are greased and bring the grill to medium heat.

Cook. Cook for nine minutes on one side, flip the meat and cook for nine minutes on the other side. I closed the grill left it cooking, took the kids out to the swing set, came back flipped the meat, and then made a quick salad. It literally cooks itself!

Let it rest (again). The most important part is to let it rest for 10 minutes before you cut it. That ensures all the juices are kept inside.

Cut & Serve. Make sure you have a sharp knife and you cut the meat at an angle. Keep the strips thin for the best presentation.

That’s it! It’s seriously good. You can thank me later 😉

Enjoy!
