HUNAN BEEF

Steps:

• Remove all the fat from the beef and partially freeze beef for ease in slicing.
• Cut it across the grain into thin 1½ inch slices.
• Place the beef slices in a container with a tight fitting lid and add the marinade in the following steps.
• First add the meat tenderizer by sprinkling it sparsely so that it hits each piece of meat.
• Next add the soy and stir.
• Then sprinkle on the cornstarch coating each piece.
• Finally add the oil and stir to coat all of the meat.
• Let the meat marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• While the meat marinates, chop the Thai chilies into tiny pieces, set them aside.
• Once the meat has marinated, velvet it by bringing a pot of water with the salt and just 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil to boil.
• Add the meat and let it cook for 1 minute, remove it with a slotted spoon and set it aside.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of peanut oil on high in a non stick pot or wok.
• Add the chilies and garlic and stir fry them for 1 minute.
• Add the beef, ginger, vinegar, soy sauce and sugar and stir fry everything for 1 more minute then remove the wok from the heat.
• Serve with steamed vegetables and rice.
