Instructions

 

1. Whisk together the ingredients for the marinade, the pour over the beef and rest for 4 hours.
2. Prepare the sauce by mixing all the ingredients together (a jar is great for this) and set aside.
3. In your work (or fry pan) add any remaining oil (including the sesame oil) and bring the pan to high heat. Cook the tenderloin strips until cooked and slightly crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
4. Add the vegetables and stir fry until just tender. Add the ginger and the garlic, and cook for 30 second to a minute. Add the beef back into the pan, then add the sauce. Cook for about 3 minutes, then add the cornstarch mixture to the pan and cook until the sauce thickens.
5. Garnish with the green onion slices.
