Directions
This recipe serves 2

To prepare:

Steam the Jasmine Rice until done.

Slice the beef flank steak into ¼” thick bite-size strips (remember to cut against the grain for tender bites!) Chop and/or grate the garlic and ginger root. Cut all the veggies into rough bite-size pieces. Keep the veggies separated, you’ll be adding them one at a time to the skillet.

Heat a large skillet on medium-low heat. Add the Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Add the Garlic and Ginger and sauté briefly. Add the Beef Flank Steak turn up the heat to medium. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the beef browned. Take the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Add the Celery and Sweet Onion and allow them to cook 2-3 minutes.
Add the Napa Cabbage and carrots. Cook another 2-3 minutes.
Add the Green Bell Pepper, Portabella Mushrooms and Fresh Bean Sprouts. Cook 2-3 minutes.
Add the beef back into the skillet and stir.
Add the chicken stock and turn the heat down to low.
Cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer for 4-5 minutes.

While the beef and veggies are simmering, prepare the sauce:
Mix together the Water, Oyster Sauce, Yoshida’s Sauce and Cornstarch until thoroughly blended.

Push the beef and veggies to the sides of the pan creating a “well” in the middle.
Turn the heat back up to medium and add the sauce. As the sauce thickens, stir in the beef and veggies to coat.
(Tip: If the sauce thickens too quickly, turn down the heat a little and whisk-in some chicken stock to thin it a little)
Finally, stir in the Jasmine Rice to heat through and serve!
