Ingredients

  • 1 -1 12 lb beef steak (your choice, I used sirloin)
  • 1 cup green pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup baby carrots, halved lengthwise (or quartered depending on size)
  • 1 cup celery, sliced
  • 1 cup mushroom, sliced
  • 34 cup red onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 14 cup low-sodium low-fat chicken broth
  • 14 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 34 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons flour

Method

  • Chop all the vegetables first, you won't have time if you start cooking first.
  • Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces, or strips against the grain if you prefer.
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix sauce ingredients together well with a whisk.
  • In a wok or huge skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat until very hot, then add the garlic, onion, and steak pieces.
  • Stir-fry 3-5 minutes, until meat is mostly browned.
  • Add all the vegetables; stir-fry 2-3 minutes.
  • Pour the sauce over the entire pan, and continue stir-frying another 5-10 minutes, until steak is desired done-ness and vegetables are crisp-tender.
  • Serve over rice.
