Ingredients

  • Marinade:
  • 3/4 pound beef
  • 4 medium tomatoes
  • 2 green onions
  • 3 shallots
  • 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • pepper to taste
  • cornstarch to lightly coat beef
  • Sauce:
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1/3 cup water
  • Directions:
  • ●Cut the beef across the grain into thin slices approximately 1 1/2 inches long.
  • ●Place the beef in a bowl, add the marinade ingredients and mix in with chopsticks, adding the cornstarch last. If you like, you can also add a bit of baking soda to tenderize the beef. Marinate for 15 minutes.
  • ●While the beef is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Dice the shallots and slice the tomatoes into six equal pieces. Slice the green onions into thin slices along the diagonal.
  • ●Mix together the sauce ingredients and set aside.
  • ●Heat wok and add oil. When oil is ready, add the beef. Stir-fry until it changes color, turning the meat over once. Remove from the wok and set aside.
  • ●Clean out the wok and add more oil. Saute the shallots, and add the tomatoes. Add the sauce.
  • ●Return the beef to the wok and mix together. (You can either add the green onion as well or serve it cold as a garnish.)
