Ingredients:





     8 oz Beef (you can use almost any


          -cut - rump steak or flank


          -steak is good), marinated


          -in several Tbsp peanut oil


     4 oz Onions


     4 oz Green pepper or 4 oz


          -broccoli or 4 oz mung bean


          -sprouts


     1 ts Garlic, minced


     1 ts Ginger, minced,optional


     1 ts Soy sauce


     1 ts Wine (Chinese rice wine or


          -pale dry sherry)


     1 ts Cornstarch mixed with 1 Tbsp


          -cold water or chicken stock


          Sesame oil






 Marinate beef in standard (all-purpose) marinade for at least 15 minutes.


 heat wok. Add just enough peanut oil to stir fry the vegetables. Drop in


 the begetables. (I add the green vegetable first and stir fry it for 10-20


 seconds before adding the onion, because I like my onion crispy and


 crunchy, and it takes less time to cook than bell pepper or broccoli or


 bean sprouts.) Stir fry until 3/4 done. Remove vegetables, set aside, keep


 warm. Wipe out the wok. Reheat it until very hot. Add about 1-2 Tbsp of


 peanut oil. Add garlic (and ginger if desired). Stir fry for about 10


 seconds. Add meat and stir fry for about 60 seconds. Put the vegetables


 back in, add the soy sauce and wine. Stir the cornstarch mixture up to


 recombine it, and add. Continue to lift, toss, stir, etc. until the sauce


 is thickened and translucent. Just before serving, add a few splashes of


 sesame oil. Serve with plain rice.


 


 NOTES : Use 1 part cornstarch to 3 parts water (or chicken stock) for a


 thinner sauce. Use 1 part cornstarch to 2 parts water for a thicker sauce.


 Remember: have everything pre-measured and ready to add, because once you


 start stir-frying, you cannot stop.
