Beef Stir Fry

Marinade: ½ tsp Chinese 5 spice powder, ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes, 1 tsp dark soy sauce, 1 clove garlic (crushed), 1 Tbsp of liquid (dry sherry or white wine or just plain water). Note: This makes enough marinade for 3-4 oz of beef. Double or triple the marinade to match the amount of beef you are using. 3-4 oz of lean sirloin steak per person. Slice beef into strips. Mix with marinade, cover and refrigerate for at least an hour. I usually leave it overnight. Chopped onion, Broccoli, Carrots (sliced), Bean sprouts, 6-7 oz (200ml) of beef stock. Directions: Heat a wok or non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Add beef and fry for 2 minutes. Add onion. Fry for 1 minute. Add veggies and fry for 2 minutes.. Add beef stock. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes or until veggies are tender. Serve over rice or noodles. I’m trying to cut down on carbs so I skip the starch all together. The beef and vegetables are more than enough, both in volume and taste.
