Easy Cumin, Garlic and Beef Stir Fry.

Last night, as I was chopping the carrot for this easy cumin, garlic and beef stir fry, I was thinking about infomercials.

I was thinking that surely there must be a gadget or gizmo that would make chopping all these carrot straws much easier? Surely I just need to watch more infomercials to find one?

This simple beef stir fry is delicious, and quick and easy to make, but if I had a gadget to do the chopping for me this would be an even quicker, and even easier!

Marinating the meat in a combination of soy sauce, garlic and cumin is the secret to this delicious stir fry. Cumin and garlic are such a great flavour combination, and we like to use lots of both in this recipe.

You can buy your beef already cut into strips, or buy some steak and cut it into thing strips.

The longer you marinade the meat the better, but I never remember to do it in advance, and even popping it in for half an hour before you cook works just fine.

You can add whatever veggies you like to this, just make sure you cut them into thin straws of around the same size, so that they cook fast.

Have you ever bought anything from an infomercial?

Are those miracle veggie chopping gizmos worth it? Do they work as well as they do on TV?

Apart from some kind of veggie chopper, I also need a new vacuum. Do I dare buy one off an infomercial??
