Preparation

Step 1

What To Do:

Stir together first 5 ingredients until mixture is smooth.

Heat 1-1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat 2 minutes. Add beef, in batches, and stir-fry 8 minutes or until no longer pink. Remove from skillet.

Pour remaining 1-1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil in skillet; heat 2 minutes. Add green onions, and stir-fry 5 minutes or until tender.

Add beef and cornstarch mixture to skillet, stirring constantly 1 minute or until mixture is thickened. Serve immediately over warm cooked rice.

Notes

Don't let the hoisin sauce in this simple stir-fry scare you. You can find it at your local supermarket in the Asian food section. It's a sweet and spicy sauce that adds big flavor to the dish and will keep in the fridge for the next time you need it.
