Beef with Mushrooms

I always use olive oil if I have it on hand. And I serve this great dish with white or wild rice and steamed carrots.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean round steak
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon dry red wine
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 small onion sliced and separated into rings

Instructions

  • Slice the steak across the grain into thin strips about 1⁄4-inch wide and 2-inches long. You’ll find it easier to thinly slice if it is slightly frozen.
  • In a large bowl, mix the beef with the soy sauce, corn starch, wine and sugar, set aside.
  • In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the mushrooms.
  • Sauté until the mushrooms become soft (about 2 minutes).
  • Remove mushrooms from the pan, set aside on a plate.
  • Heat the remaining oil in the same frying pan, over medium-high heat.
  • Add the onion slices.
  • Stir in the beef mixture.
  • Continue sauteing until the meat is no longer red and the sauce thickens a bit.
  • Add the cooked mushrooms and mix thoroughly.
  • Serve immediately over hot rice or egg noodles.
