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.
