Instructions
A tip for thinly slicing the beef is to first freeze it for half an hour. Season with salt and pepper, then prepare a cornstarch slurry. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoon of cornstarch, with a teaspoon of water. Add rice wine vinegar and sesame oil. Place the beef in a bowl and mix well to caot. It can rest in the fridge up to 30 minutes. In the meantime, make the sauce by combining all ingredients in a bowl.
In a large fry pan heat one tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat and cook the beef in two batches. Brown each side for 1-2 minutes, then pull the meat from the pan and set it aside.
Add in the mushrooms and cook for a minute. Then add in the remaining oil, the red bell pepper, broccoli and carrots. Cook the veggies until tender (about 3-5 minutes) stirring occasionally. Clear the centre and add the garlic and ginger. Stir constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant and mix it in to the rest of the ingredients.
Add the peas and the bamboo shoots and stir in the sauce. Then add the beef. The cornstarch in the sauce will thicken it as it cooks for 2 more minutes! Remove to a bowl and finish with the green onions, sesame seeds or cashews, if desired. Serve with rice or noodles.
For the rice noodles, follow the directions for cooking on your particular package. The noodles we use require soaking in hot water for two minutes.Once cooked, combine with bottled Korean BBQ style sauce and heat through in the pan before serving under the beef stir fry.
