Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the sliced beef, salt and pepper, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, egg, and corn starch to a bowl and mix until completely combined.
  2. Next, add 3 tablespoons of cooking oil to a large wok over high heat.
  3. Once it begins to roll smoke add in the beef and immediately move it up the sides of the pan so that it doesn’t clump, and all of the pieces can get cooked.
  4. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes and set aside.
  5. Add 3 tablespoons of cooking oil to the wok and return it to the burner over high heat until it rolls smoke again.
  6. Add in the bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and green onions and stir fry for 1 to 2 minutes or until a light sear has been created.
  7. Pour the oyster sauce, sherry, sugar and soy sauce to the wok with stir-fried vegetables and cook for 1 to 2 minutes stirring constantly.
  8. Add the broccoli and carrots to a separate large pot of boiling water and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Strain and add it to the wok with the other ingredients.
  9. Serve the beef stir fry with jasmine rice and add optional garnishes of sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead: This is meant to be eaten when it's done cooking.
  • How to Store: Cover it and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.  It does not freeze well as it will turn your vegetables to mush.
  • How to Reheat: Add the desired amount of stir-fry back to a hot wok with a little oil and stir fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until hot.
  • In place of the beef, you can use chicken, shrimp, tofu, or pork.
  • Try serving this with White Rice or Stir-Fried Noodles.
