So, it is time for Two Sweetie Pies again with my baking buddy Liz from That Skinny Chick Can Bake! I had to email her this month and warn her I chose something that was not chocolate. That is almost unheard of since Liz’s blog is loaded with chocolate and caramel goodness and we all know I have a HUGE sweettooth! However, I decided to expand my horizons this month as Liz always posts such delicious savory delights as well. I was looking for a steak stir fry recipe at my oldest son’s request. He is a picky eater but often requests steak. BOTH of my children loved this meal and this is not an easy accomplishment by any means. I added chicken to this recipe as well to please the second son and broccoli to please the husband. Rave reviews from all means this will most definitely be in the weekly rotation. Thanks Liz for making my boys love and agree on a dinner….finally! You will find this on Liz’s blog as Beef Bulgogi! Best Beef and Chicken Stir Fry Ever!

You can also make this using all steak! more pics below of the steak version.
