Whenever the Hawthornes want a quick, tasty, and easy meal,
we turn to our wok.
We're having Rib Eye Moreovers for lunch.
Previously, I'd found a rather large rib eye in the freezer
and cooked it for lunch.
I had plenty leftover and it's going into the stir fry
along with fellow wok-partiers -
carrot, celery, onion, mushrooms, asparagus, and green beans.
That's the beauty of stir frying.
You can use whatever you like.
Heat up a tablespoon or so of peanut oil
and a teaspoon of sesame oil over medium high heat.
Green beans go in first since they take the longest to cook.
After a minute, add in the carrots.
Cook another minute,
Then add in the shrooms, celery, asparagus, and onions.
Turn heat to high and pour in a little beef broth
and let the veggies steam.
Add in the meat.
And lastly pour in a cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce.
2 TB cornstarch dissolved in 2 TB cold water.
Pour the slurry down the hot sides of the wok,
not directly in the center of the wok.
Stir to thicken and serve over a bed of rice.
Lunch is served.
I must be doing this right.
I was hungry again in about 90 minutes.
