One of the few ways I can get Rick to eat leafy green vegetables is if I put them in a stir fry. Come to think of it, that’s pretty much the only way he’ll eat greens! I found myself with some bok choy and broccoli on hand, so I thought I’d try a venison stir fry. The result was delicious, although my kitchen was a mess.

Venison stir fry with ginger and bok choy.

Recipe: Venison & Bok Choy Stir Fry

Summary: crispy vegetables with tangy ginger make this stir fry pop

Ingredients

2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger or ginger paste
3 cloves minced fresh garlic
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
4 teaspoons cornstarch, divided
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 pound venison flank steak, trimmed and thinly sliced
Cooking spray
4 cups sliced bok choy (about 1 medium head)
2 cups snow peas
1 cup thinly vertically sliced onion
1 cup broccoli
1 cup venison stock

Instructions

Combine ginger, garlic, soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of the cornstarch, sesame seeds, and crushed red pepper in a large bowl; add meat and coat well with mixture. Marinate in refrigerator 20 minutes.
Heat a wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray, and add onion and broccoli to pan. Cook 3 minutes or until crisp yet tender; transfer to a large bowl.
Recoat pan with cooking spray and add snow peas. Cook 1 minute. Add to bowl.
Add bok choy to pan and sautÃ© 2 minutes or until slightly wilted; add to bowl.
Recoat wok with cooking spray. Add half of the meat mixture and cook 3 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a large bowl and keep warm.
Coat wok again and add remaining meat mixture to pan; cook 3 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally. Add to bowl and keep warm.
Combine venison stock and remaining 2 teaspoons of cornstarch, stirring with a whisk. Add to wok, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Bring to a boil and cook 1 minute or until mixture thickens, stirring constantly. Return meat and vegetables to pan and toss gently to coat.
