A ground hamburger dish that can easily feed one or two, or can be doubled to become a great dinner for four!

Provided by ValkyrieInTraining

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 25m

Yield 2 cups, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons oil, divided
1/2 tablespoon vinegar (I prefer red wine vinegar)
4 ounces hamburger meat, raw
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons peas, frozen
1/4 cup rice, cooked
3 tablespoons salsa
1/4 cup cheese (what you like best that melts well)
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Steps:

  • Season the hamburger patty with salt and pepper on both sides, adding any other seasonings you like (I add garlic and herb, hot paprika, and white pepper).
  • Heat a 10" skillet over medium high heat, adding one tablespoon of the oil.
  • Once the pan is hot, add the chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes, until onion starts to color and becomes soft.
  • Add the garlic and cook a minute longer, adding a little salt and pepper.
  • Add the vinegar to the pan, and cook another two minutes.
  • Remove the onion and garlic from the pan and add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Put the patty into the pan and let it brown for about a minute, then break it up gently with a spatula or wooden spoon as it cooks.
  • Season with hot sauce, if desired, and chili powder.
  • Once the ground meat is thoroughly cooked, and no pink can be seen (about 5 minutes), add the peas. Cover and cook 2-3 minutes, turning the heat to medium low.
  • Add the rice, salsa, onion and garlic mixture. Stir well, cooking another minute.
  • Sprinkle the cheese on top, and cover, cooking for 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  • Serve with toast or garlic bread, and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: For a stir-fry, you'll want to use a cut of beef that is tender and flavorful. Good options include flank steak, skirt steak, or sirloin steak.
  • Slice the beef thinly: This will help it cook quickly and evenly.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs will help tenderize it and add flavor.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: This will help to sear the beef and prevent it from sticking.
  • Cook the beef in batches: Don't overcrowd the pan, or the beef will not cook evenly.
  • Add the vegetables: Once the beef is cooked, add the vegetables and cook until they are tender-crisp.
  • Add the sauce: Stir in the sauce and cook until it is heated through.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fry is best served fresh out of the wok or skillet.

Conclusion:

Beefy Tex-Mex stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is also a great way to use up leftover beef. This dish is packed with flavor, thanks to the combination of beef, vegetables, and Tex-Mex spices. Serve it over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
