As you may already know, I was busy most of this week & last weekend entertaining out-of-town guests which ate up all of my spare time In spite of being busy, I did, however, have a chance to get in the kitchen
This is one thing I came up with the other evening
My wife & kids liked it
Hope you do too
1 1/2 lb 1 to 1 1/2-inch pencil-thin beef strips
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tps sesame oil
1/2 tps black pepper
1/4 tps red pepper
2 tpss minced garlic
2 tpss minced ginger
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 Tbspcornstarch (for tenderizing beef)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 egg white
Approximately 2 cups broccoli or any crisp
green vegetable (I used dried tou fu)
About 3 hrs before preparation time, mix all marinade ingredients except cornstarch & egg white
Put beef strips in Pyrex dish & pour marinade over them
Make sure all pieces have chance to be submerged in marinade
Next, gradually sprinkle cornstarch over beef, gently massaging it into meat
Place beef in refrigerator for about 3 hrs
Before you are ready to stir-fry beef, beat egg white until frothy
Place in beef mixture, making sure it is evenly distributed
Heat a couple of table spoons of oil in wok & stir-fry vegetables
Remove from wok & set aside
Next, add a little oil & stir-fry beef mixture, being careful not to overcook it
The last step is to add the vegetables & mix together with beef mixture
I actually liked this dish because it wasn’t necessary to make a sauce – tasty without it
If you want to, you can also mix in a little oyster sauce or a combination of oyster sauce & soy sauce, adding just enough to coat beef & vegetables in wok
This should be done just before beef & vegetable mixture is removed from fire
I actually had enough liquid leftover after stir-frying
Serve over white rice

This recipe has a lot of beef in it
If you want, you can use a little less beef & more vegetables which would be more authentic
