Thai Chile Beef

1 round steak (or stew meat)
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup oil
1 tablespoon hot pepper
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
1/2 cup mushrooms
1/2 cup young baby corn
1 onion
1/2 cup water or beef broth
1 tablespoon fish sauce or soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce

Slice the steak into paper thin slices (if it is frozen partly or very cold this is easier.) Cut into slices 2 x 1-inch thick. Marinate for 1 hour in the ginger, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder and flour.

Stir-fry in the oil for 2 minutes the hot pepper, bell pepper, mushrooms, corn and onion.

Add the water and cover and simmer for 3 minutes. Add the sauces. Toss lightly and serve over rice.

Makes 2 servings.
