Cook’s Tips

Ingredients

• 8 oz. beef tenderloin, flank steak, or flap meat, cut into pieces
• 1/2 small deseeded green bell pepper, cut into pieces
• Salt to taste
• 2 ½ tablespoons cooking oil
• 1/2 small deseeded red bell pepper, cut into pieces
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 onion, cut into strips
• 1 small fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Marinade:

• 1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Maggi seasoning sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine or sherry
• 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

1. For around 15 minutes, marinate the beef using the marinade ingredients.
2. A wok or skillet should be used to heat the oil to a high temperature. Cook the beef in a wok until it has browned on the exterior but is still pink inside. Set the dish on the counter.
3. Bring the remaining oil to a rapid boil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or wok. Garlic and ginger should be sautéed in a pan until fragrant, then add the green and red bell peppers, onions, and black pepper. Stir-fry the items in the wok until they begin to give off an aroma.
4. Put the steak back in the skillet or wok. Stir-fry until the beef is thoroughly cooked and the center no longer shows any pink color. Serve with steaming rice right away after preparing.
