Tips & Tricks

  • Make sure the beef is sliced thin! This helps to make sure the beef stays tender and crisp.
  • Switch up the veggies. You can also use other veggies like carrots, bell peppers, and cauliflower!
  • Double the recipe and reheat it for later. This recipe honestly goes pretty fast in my house, so double it to make it last longer!

Is honey garlic beef healthy?

Depending on whether or not you’re trying to keep your sugar lower, can color this recipe a little differently, but overall this recipe still uses no processed sugar and lots of vegetables!

Can you make this recipe ahead of time? How do you reheat it?

This recipe is best fresh, but it also reheats well. I simply store it in glass in the fridge for 2-3 days and then reheat it in a pan for a few minutes on low until it’s warm.
