- Get your beef all chopped up and pretty.
- Then accessorize it with some salt and pepper.
- Beef is good and clean, I tell you.
- Now were gonna get tricky.
- We dont want to cook this beef.
- We just want to sear it.
- So, get your pan screaming hot and add a tablespoon of vegetable oil.
- I like the smoke point of veggie oil plus it doesnt smell weird when you fry in it.
- Okay, onto the beef.
- Sear it until its no longer gray.
- Then turn it and do it again.
- Then take it off to rest on a pretty plate.
- Its time to get your chop on.
- Slice and half those bell peppers.
- Slice those onions into about 1/2 inch slices.
- Slice quick with a sharp knife and you wont cry.
- I promise.
- *sniff, sniff*
- Add those to a big, heavy-bottomed pot on medium high heat with your other tablespoon of vegetable oil.
- Do you wanna know why I like vegetable oil?
- Oh, I already told you.
- P.S.
- I wont tell if you add some salt and pepper right here.
- In fact, I encourage you to do so.
- Slice and halve your squash.
- Then do the same thing with the zucchini.
- You have to because zucchini gets jealous.
- Now add all ingredients from the squash and zucchini to the hot tub of peppers and onions.
- You can also throw in the mushrooms, too.
- Its all good, no worries.
- Dont forget to salt and pepper again.
- Layers are good.
- Kind of like donkeys.
- Let your veggie medley cook on screaming hot heat (with you stirring occasionally) for about 15 minutes.
- Turn the heat down to medium low now.
- The beef may rest no longer.
- Its time to add it to the yummies of veggies.
- Toss it in right on top cause its pretty and good.
- Then add in your sauce ingredients (water, soy sauce, and sweet n sour sauce) so your meat and veggies can call themselves stir-fry.
- And because its just that good man!
- Sometimes I always add in crushed red pepper flakes right here ... because Im a crazy girl.
- Thats why.
- After this, cover the pot and let it rock and roll to the soft rock for about an hour.
- When you come back, your Okie goodness should be looking and smelling irresistible.
- Oh yeah, baby.
- Id get me a spoon and do a salt check right about now.
- Ladle your pot of yummy on top of some white rice.
- And, thank your lucky stars for Okie Asian fusion.
