 Asian-Seasoned Beef Tenderloin with Coconut Sticky Rice and Stir
 Fried Vegetables

 Prepare the beef: Combine the soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, wine,
 sherry, salt, pepper, five spice powder, ginger, garlic, and beans
 in a resealable plastic bag. Add the beef and toss to coat well.
 Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up
 to 24 hours.

 Preheat the oven to 375 F.

 Place the meat on a rack set on a baking sheet and bake for
 45 minutes, basting with the marinade every 15 minutes, until the
 internal temperature reaches 125 F. Transfer to a cutting board,
 cover with aluminum foil, and let rest for 20 minutes.

 Make the rice:

 Put the rice in a wide saucepan and add the coconut milk and water.
 Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to
 medium-low and cook for 5 to 8 minutes until the liquid is just
 above the rice. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook for
 10 minutes.  Remove from the heat and let sit covered until ready
 to serve.

 Make the vegetables:

 Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the oil, green
 onions, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 1 minute, stirring to cook
 evenly. Add the shiitakes and cook for 1 minute. Add the bok choy
 and snow peas and cook for 1 minute. Add the stock, salt and pepper
 and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

 Cut the meat into 1/2"-thick slices. Fluff the rice with a fork and
 divide among 8 plates. Arrange a few slices of meat over the rice and
 spoon the vegetables around the rice. Serve.

 Enjoy with Simi Sonoma County Chardonnay
