If you’ve been around here for a while, you know I’m always about keeping things simple, quick, healthy, and genuinely delicious. No overcomplicating, no hard-to-find ingredients, and no recipes that take forever to make. This Beef & Green Bean Stir-Fry fits that vibe perfectly. It’s one of those back-pocket meals that comes together fast but still feels satisfying and flavorful.

This is the kind of recipe I rely on during busy weeks when I want something nourishing and comforting that I’ll actually look forward to eating. It’s savory with just a little sweetness, reheats really well, and works for both lunch or dinner. You can keep it super straightforward or add extra veggies, herbs, etc. to switch things up!

IYKYK I always use these meal prep containers for storing and reheating all of my individual serving weekly meal preps. They’re my favorite!
