1/2 cup smoked whole almonds, available on snack aisle, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place beef broth in a small pot over low heat to warm the liquid.
  • Heat a wok shaped skillet or pan over high heat. Add oil (it will smoke) and meat bits. Stir-fry meat 3 minutes and remove from pan or move off to the side of the wok. Return pan to heat and add peppers and onions. Stir-fry veggies 2 minutes. Add meat back to the pan. Add sherry and stir fry until liquid almost evaporates about 1 minute. Add soy sauce to the pan. Dissolve cornstarch with a ladle of warm beef broth. Add beef broth to the pan, then add cornstarch combined with broth, the five-spice powder and black pepper. Stir sauce until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Adjust seasonings. Add more soy or salt if necessary. Remove stir-fry from heat. Fill dinner bowls with beef stir-fry and top with a scoop of rice. Scoop rice with ice cream scoop to get a rounded ball. By placing rice on top of stir-fry, rice will stay firm and not soak up too much sauce. Garnish with chopped scallions and smoked almonds.

2 teaspoons honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
white pepper

Steps:

  • use one pound of thinly sliced meat if doing stir fry or one pound of steak tips, pour marinade over meat and place in ziplock bag and marinade for a couple of hours.
  • Drain marinade and stir fry meat with assorted chopped vegetables or cook steak tips under broiler or on grill.

Tips:

  • Heat the wok until it is very hot: This will help sear the beef and lock in the flavor.
  • Add the vegetables in stages: This will help prevent them from overcooking.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what will really make the dish, so be sure to use one that you like.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot and fresh out of the wok.
