Ingredients

  • 1 lb Inside Round Beef, thinly sliced across the grain
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 egg
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon sliced garlic
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced
  • 1 small onion sliced
  • cooked rice to serve
  • 2 tablespoon cooking oil

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl combine the beef, cornstarch, egg, ginger, soy sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix well, and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the oil to the pan along with the beef and cook until the beef is browned on all sides. About 5 minutes. Take the beef out of the pan and set aside.
  • Put the pan back on the heat, add in the remaining oil along with the onions and green pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes, then add in the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Add the beef back into the pan along with any drippings, toss all the ingredients together, taste and season with salt and pepper, then serve over rice.
