How to make it
- Partially freeze beef, then slice across the grain into 3 1/2 slices. Set aside.
- Combine next 9 ingredients in mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Add beef, turning to coat well. Cover, and refrigerate, at least 20 minutes.
- (P.S. - The marinating step is crucial. It gives the meat time to absorb all those wonderful flavors. After all, the FLAVOR is what makes this dish so amazing!)
- Heat wok over med. high heat. Pour 2 TBSP. oil around top of wok. Heat for 1 minute. Add green onions, ( or other veg.). Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook 6 minutes, or until tender. Remove green onion
- Add remaining 1/4 c. oil. Heat on med. high 1 minute. Add beef mixture and stir-fry 5 minutes, or until done.
- Return onions to beef mixture. Stir-fry 30 seconds, or until heated through. Serve over noodles or rice. Garnish with fresh red chile slices, if desired.
- I found this recipe in a book in a library in Waco, TX 20 years ago and have been making it ever since. It never fails to impress anyone I serve it to.
