Stir-Fry Beef or Pork
1 pound beef steak, such as top round, top sirloin, or flank steak OR
1 pound pork tenderloin
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1-inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons olive or peanut oil
1 medium onion, slivered
2-3 cloves garlic, slivered
1 green pepper, seeded and cut into strips
3/4 cup regular-strength beef broth
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
dash Tabasco sauce or 1/4 teaspoon Zip
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 pound fresh bean sprouts, rinsed and well drained
snipped fresh cilantro or parsley
Slice the meat, cutting on the diagonal, into very thin strips, about
1/16-inch thick (freeze meat partially for ease in cutting thin slices).
Marinate meat strips in mixture of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and
cornstarch for at least 1 hour. Then heat wok or stir-fry, adding the 2
tablespoons oil. When hot, add the marinated strips and cook and stir
2-3 minutes, or until meat is done. Remove meat to platter. If
necessary, add a little more oil to the wok and then add the vegetables,
cooking and stirring for several minutes. In meantime, whisk together
the broth, cornstarch, hot sauce or Zip, and pepper. Add to vegetables
and cook and stir until sauce thickens slightly and takes on a clear
sheen. Add the cooked meat, the bean sprouts, and the snipped herbs.
Serve!
