I love a quick meal that doesn’t leave too full, has no “side dish”, which usually is carbs and tastes fresh and clean. Chinese food is usually my choice and here is a simple and tasty dish!

  • 1 lb round steak cut into thin strips
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 2 cloves chopped garlic
  • 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tsp black bean paste
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 red, green bell pepper each, chopped
  • 3 ribs celery, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped in half, then sliced
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • sesame seeds for garnish

In a mixing bowl add the first eight ingredients and set aside for 15 minutes to marinade.Chop the vegetables in the meantime into bite sized pieces and heat a wok until several drops of water skip and steam when thrown in the pan – it’s ready!

Brown the meat quickly in the oil and stir often. Next, add the vegetables and stir to coat evenly and begin to cook for several minutes. Add the broth/cornstarch mixture to the wok and stir quickly as sauce will begin to thicken.

Serve with rice if you want but this is good on it’s own.
