ingredients

8 ounces round steaks, cut into strips (you can also use rump steak, or sirloin)
8 ounces rotini pasta
1 medium carrot, peeled and sliced
6 ounces new potatoes
4 ounces green beans, trimmed
3 tablespoons sunflower oil (I have used canola oil and it tasted fine)
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
Marinade
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sake or 1 tablespoon sherry wine
1 teaspoon sesame oil (I have used canola oil and added a tsp sesame seeds)
1 teaspoon cornstarch
Sauce
¹⁄₂ chicken stock cube, dissolved in 6 tablespoons boiling water
¹⁄₂ teaspoon rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
¹⁄₂ teaspoon cornstarch
¹⁄₂ sweet red pepper, cut into strips
salt & freshly ground black pepper

directions

Mix together the ingredients for the marinade and marinate the beef strips for at least 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. I usually marinate for 1 hour, flipping after a half hour.
When the beef is done marinating, cook the pasta in a large pot of lightly salted boiling water according to the instructions on the package, drain, set aside, and keep warm.
Steam the carrot, potatoes, and green beans for about 6 minutes or until tender.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a wok or large frying pan over Medium-High heat and stir-fry the beef for 3 minutes. Take out the beef and set aside.
In the same pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and saute the garlic and onion for 3 minutes.
Add the red pepper to the onion and cook for 2 minutes. Add to beef/veggie mixture.
Cut the potatoes into slices, and add these together with the carrot, green beans, and beef and season with some salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Mix together the ingredients for the sauce.
Stir the sauce and cooked pasta into the veggie/beef/onion mixture and cook for 2 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly.

The most defining trait in my life is that I am a mother to two wonderful boys (Tyler, 20 and Zayden, 9). I live in the little college town of Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. It is the most wonderful place to live as it's nestled in the Appalachian Mountains and along the beautiful Susquehanna River. Seeing that we live in Central Pennsylvania, our family is also a bunch of HARDCORE Penn State Nittany Lion fans! We are...PENN STATE! I was lucky enough to be given tickets to see Joe Paterno win his 400th game as the head coach of the football team. I cried like I did when my children were born. The other love of my life is cooking. I didn't really start trying to cook until I was 20, but believe me I have made up for lost time! I absolutely adore baking and I do it whenever I can. I love making Christmas cookies and I have begun hosting our extended families at our home for Thanksgiving and Easter dinners. So far so good. I love food.com because it allows me to expand my culinary skills and my recipe box with ideas from other people like me. There is something for everyone and I have been a loyal member since 2005. I hope you enjoy my recipes and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
