Tuscan Blend EVOO and Pacific Spice Stir Fry

I don't know about you but I have been craving some good stir fry. I have yet to find a restaurant here to serve a great stir fry dish. The Tuscan Blend EVOO is such a superb oil and the Pacific Spice is amazing! I am sure you will love this dish. The fun thing about a stir fry is you can add an assortment of vegetables and use whatever meats, seafood, poultry, or even tofu you have a craving for! We served up this spectacular meal with some brown rice and a big green salad, and yes of course we used Quail and Olive's Lemon EVOO and Champagne Mimosa vinegar to dress the salad, yum! Plus as any mother will share, we all have limited time to do things in and this dish can be whipped up in just 15 minutes! Enjoy!


Tuscan Blend EVOO and Pacific Spice Stir Fry


1/2 to 1 lb thinly sliced beef ( I cheat and buy the already sliced fajita meat)
2-4 cups assorted vegetables ( I used broccoli florets, sliced carrots, mushrooms, snow peas, and sliced red pepper)
1/4 cup sesame seeds
3 Tablespoons plus 2 Tablespoons Tuscan Blend EVOO

Sauce ( This is so simple and so very easy, much better than buying a sauce already prepared with processed junk)

3 Tablespoons soy sauce
2 Tablespoons Pacific Spice vinegar
1/4 cup orange juice
2 T Quail and Olive honey ( use more or less depending on your taste)
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with a little Tuscan EVOO

In saucepan, add all the sauce ingredients except the cornstarch and olive oil. Cook on medium heat until mixture boils. Add cornstarch. Turn heat to low and cover for about 5 minutes or until sauce thickens. Test the sauce and make sure it is sweet to your liking.


In wok, heat 3 T Tuscan Blend on medium high. Once the oil has heated, add beef, chicken, or tofu to pan. Saute beef for about 5-7 minutes until beef is cooked constantly stirring the pan. Remove beef from pan and set aside. Add 2 tablespoons of Tuscan blend EVOO to pan. Heat for about 1-2 minutes until oil is hot. Add vegetables and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly. Once vegetables have cooked, turn the heat off and add the sesame seeds. Pour the sauce over stir fry and combine. Serve over brown rice and complete it with a crunchy green salad.
