Stir fried beef recipe

For those who've asked for the recipe

Stir  fried Beef

Marinade day:

Slice scotch fillet to desired thickness
Add to plastic bag  enough to cover

Soy sauce
Honey / palm sugar
Garlic  minced about 2 teaspoons
Ginger minced about  2 teaspoons

Sherry  - about quarter of a cup

Chili if you like it

I vacuum seal my plastic bag so then I marinade for  a day or 2.

Cooking day :

Strain steak from marinade. Reserve marinade .

Slice onions, garlic & ginger fry up in grape seed oil.

Add  red & green capsicums, mushrooms. Push to one side in pan.

Brown steak   in batches.

Add any vegetables that take more than 1 minute to cook eg cauliflower broccoli.

Add  2 dessertspoons cornflour to reserved marinade & add water to make up to 2 cups - enough to cover steak.  Cook till thickened.

Adjust seasoning. 

Set aside till ready to serve.

Add wombok cabbage,  baby corn cuts, water chestnuts, snow peas & warm through.

Serve immediately to keep that veggie crunch.

Hope that gives you some idea.

Sunrise stroll around the garden

Wandered round the garden as the sun was coming up amazed by how many plants were flowering. My first attempt at loading a video . Can you spot the water dragon?
