Kung Poa Beef

• 1 1/4 lb Beef, lean is better
• 2 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp ketchup, tomato
• 2 tbsp cooking white wine
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp chili sauce or hot sauce
• 2 tbsp Black pepper corns
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 4 each fresh hot chillies like Serrano or jalapeno, more or less to taste
• 2 cup mixed veggies, fresh or frozen
• 3/4 cup dry roasted peanuts
• 1/2 bunch cilantro, stems and leaves, chopped
• 2 each green onions, sliced

1. Slice beef into pieces.
2. Mine were about 1/2 inch by 2 inches.
3. But make them whatever size you like.
4. I was using a sirloin steak this time.
5. I cut it in half lengthwise, and sliced each half.
6. Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper in a small bowl, mix well
7. Add cornstarch, mix until all is coated, set aside
8. In a small container, I used a coffee mug, mix together the sauce ingredients.
9. Set aside
10. Using a stir-fry, wok, or skillet, add 1 tablespoon oil, heat on medium high
11. Add about 1/3 of your fresh chillies, sliced or diced, to oil, stir for about 30 seconds
12. Add veggies to pan, stir-fry until about done 3-4 minutes, remove and set aside
13. Add remaining 2 tablespoon oil to your pan, allow to heat up, about 30 seconds
14. Roughly crush the pepper corns, add to the pan, stir for about 1 minute
15. Remaining fresh chillies, add them to the pan, stir for 1 minute
16. Add beef to pan, stir-fry until brown (not done, just browned), 2 - 3 minutes
17. Add peanuts to meat, keep stirring, 1 minute
18. Add veggies back in, keep stirring, 2 minutes to warm through.
19. Give sauce one final stir, add to pan, keep stirring
20. When the sauce has reduced and thickened, reduce heat to medium low, stir 1 minute to allow heat to reduce in pan.
21. Add cilantro and green onions, stir for 1 more minute
22. Serve.
23. We usually serve ours over rice, but I could see this over noodles also.
