Beef with vegetables

I made this recipe because I really wanted to get chinese food but I wasn't in the mood to order just one thing.

I had all the ingredients at home, but if you're a fan of Asian food but don't know where to start with cooking it, this is a basic recipe that you can start with and work along with other meats. This dish is almost reminiscent of Mongolian beef, serve with rice please because it's the right thing to do. White rice if your dietery needs allow it.

Ingredients:

Meat and Marinade:

Skirt steak or tri tip steak sliced long and thin, about 1 lb

1/4 cup oyster sauce

3 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp rice wine or sherry wine

2 tbsp brown sugar

1 tsp pepper

1 tbsp corn starch

1 tsp ground corriander

1/2 cup water

1 medium onion chopped to 1 inch pieces

1 green bell pepper sliced to 1 inch pieces

4 green onions, sliced abias to 2 inch slices

2 tsp minced onion

1 cup mung bean sprouts

1 can drained water chestnuts, sliced

1 cup broccoli florets

3-4 tbsp vegetable oil

Place the sliced beef in a bowl with all the wet ingredients except for water. Set the water aside for later. Let the meat marinade for 10-20 minutes.

Heat your wok or saute pan to high heat, place about 2 tbsp of vegetable oil. Saute the onion, and bell peppers for about a minute, followed by the garlic, broccoli and green onions. After another minute, add the mung beat sprouts and water chestnuts. Once the water chestnuts have gotten a brown golden hue, remove vegetables from the wok or saute pan, set aside.

In the same wok put 1-2 tbsp of vegetable oil. Place the marinating meat and saute until the meat is browned a little but still a bit medium rare. Add the water and let the sauce simmer for a couple minutes until the sauce thickens. Taste the sauce, if it feels to need more sweetness add more sugar, if it needs to be saltier, add 1 tbsp at a time more of soy sauce and oyster sauce. Add the vegetables back and mix together with the sauce and meat. Heat for about another minute and then you're done. Tada!

Your Asian dish will be way done before your delivery girl can get there, at least before my delivery girl gets here. She's a nice lady and all but it's nice to get my food right away. And remember, serve with rice, or noodles, or alone. It's delicious!
