Ingredients

Marinade Ingredients

4 tablespoons white sugar
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
4 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic minced
2 green onions chopped

Beef Stir Fry Ingredients

1 pound round steak fat trimmed and meat sliced into thin strips
1 cup water
1 head broccoli peel stems then chop cleaned stems and florets into bite-sized pieces
2 carrots peeled and cut into matchstick-sized pieces
1 white or yellow onion cut in half then into thin slices
4 servings brown rice cooked according to package directions
2 tablespoons sesame seeds if desired

Instructions

Camp Cooking Tip: The meat needs to marinate at least 30 minutes but overnight is even better, so this camping stir fry is a great meal to prep ahead, store ingredients in plastic bags in your cooler or refrigerator and it will be ready to cook at camp.
Combine the marinade ingredients in a plastic gallon-sized re-sealable food bag.
Add the meat to the marinade, seal the bag, toss to coat and refrigerate until ready to use. Marinate overnight, if possible (this is great to prep at home and transport to the campsite for quick cooking.) If you want to make the marinade and cook as soon as possible, let the meat sit in the marinade at least 30 minutes.
Prepare rice according to package directions. I like using boil-in-a-bag rice at the campsite; it’s a nice little package and super easy to use because you just boil water in a pan then drop in the bag of rice and cook it for about 8-10 minutes.
Keep the rice warm until you are ready to serve.
Heat your cooking vessel to high heat. You can use campfire coals or an RV, conventional or camp stove as your heat source. If cooking over a campfire, a cast iron Dutch oven is the best cooking equipment. If you’re cooking over a stove, a non-stick large skillet with a tight-fitting lid would be fine to use.
Add about 1 cup of water to the pot and let it come to a boil. Add the broccoli and carrots then cover with lid. You want to steam the vegetables until they are just tender and still brightly colored, don’t overcook them.
Just before the broccoli and carrots are done, add the onion slices so they have a chance to soften just a bit. It’s possible that the water will evaporate before the veggies are cooked, so just keep adding a little more water until they’re done.
Remove cooked veggies from pot and set aside, cover to keep warm.
Reduce heat to medium-high. Using a set of tongs, take meat out of marinade, shake off excess liquid and place it in the pot. You want to sear it a bit, stirring to brown all sides, when the meat is almost done, remove it from the pot and set it aside with the veggies.
Now, add the marinade to the pot and cook until it starts boiling, let it cook a little until it reduces and starts to thicken.
Add the meat and veggie mixture back into the pot and toss until everything is thoroughly combined and heated through.
Place cooked rice on plate, top with meat and veggie mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds for serving, if desired.
