Oriental Beef Recipe

Heat 1 T olive oil in a heavy skillet or dutch oven.

Add:

2 pounds lean round steak or another type of beef into 1/2″ strips. This meat can be tough since it will be cooked for a while.

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1/2 t powdered ginger (optional)

After a few minutes of frying, add:

1/2 c low sodium soy sauce or Braggs Liquid Aminos

2 T brown sugar or 1/4 t stevia

1/8 t pepper

3 c water

Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer. Cover and simmer 1-3 hours. The longer you cook this, the more tender the meat will be. You can thicken this dish before serving by adding 1 T flour to 1/2 c water and adding it to the pan. Stir for a few minutes until thickened and then remove from heat.

Serve over noodles or rice.
