This was last night's dinner - Spicy Beef Stir-Fry. I thought it needed more heat so I served it with some chile paste and chile oil. It was quite good though. Beef could've been a bit less chewy but that is the nature of the beast. I served it on a bed of mixed cooked grains (I got this recipe from a Dom Deluise italian cookbook years ago that I make up in huge batches) but you can serve it over white rice or jasmine or basmati rices and it would be terrific. * Exported from MasterCook * Spicy Beef Stir-Fry Recipe By : RisaG Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Main Dish Meat Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1/2 lb boneless sirloin -- cut in 1/4" strips 1 inch pc ginger root -- finely chopped 3 cloves garlic -- minced 2 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce 2 tbsp vegetable oil 1 tbsp rice wine 1/2 cup beef broth 2 cups frozen broccoli -- thawed 1 red bell pepper -- julienne 1 serrano chile pepper -- julienne 2 scallions (green & white parts) -- sliced diagonally 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes For beef: In a zip-top bag, place steak, ginger, garlic, broth, rice wine, soy sauce and oil.
