     Title: GARLIC STEAK STIR-FRY
Categories: Chinese, Beef
     Yield: 6 servings

     2 lb Round steak/venison
   1/4 c  Light soy sauce
     1 c  Beef bouillon
   1/4 ts Ginger
     2    Clove mashed garlic
   1/4 c  Cooking sherry
     4 tb Peanut oil
     2    Clove chopped garlic
 1 1/2 c  Boiling water
     3 lg Green peppers cut into 1/2
          Inch strips
     1 c  Sliced water chestnuts
     3 tb Cornstarch
          Sherry or sesame oil
          Hot boiled rice

 Cut meat against the grain into 1/2 inch strips (this
 is easier to do if meat
 is partially frozen). Make a marinade for the meat by
 combining soy sauce, bouillon ginger, mashed garlic
 and sherry. Marinate steak for 2-12 hours in the
 refrigerator. Dry meat on paper towels. In a wok, heat
 peanut oil and saute chopped garlic until it turns
 golden brown. Remove, leaving at least 2
 tablespoon oil in wok. Add meat to oil and saute until
 brown (add just a dash
 of sherry/sesame oil to meat while it's browning). Add
 reserved marinade and
 1 cup boiling water. Simmer 45 minutes or less time,
 if desired. When meat is
 tender, remove and keep in warm oven. Pour marinade in
 separate pan and add cornstarch. Add remaining 1/2 cup
 boiling water, if needed. Simmer until thick. Stir-fry
 green pepper and water chestnuts in liquid remaining
 in wok. Add meat and marinade gravy. Add dash sesame
 oil to taste. Serve over boiled
 rice.
