A while back I was asked if I had a good stir fry recipe, and while my regular recipe is ok I have had this one in my To Try Book for a while. Well we finally got around to trying it and mm, mm, mmm, it was good :)
Marinade:
1/2 c. soy sauce
1/2 c. red wine
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp. Montreal Steak Spice
Mix marinade ingredients and marinate meat at least 1 hour, but not more than 3 hours. The original recipe never gave an amount of meat, I sliced up about 1 1/2 lbs. and it seemed the right amount of sauce).
Drain meat, reserving the marinade, and sauté meat in 1 Tbsp. hot oil until the meat is just browned. Remove from pan and set aside. Add another Tbsp. of oil to the pan and sauté vegetables:
Stir Fry: use a combination of whatever you have, but you should have an onion in there:
sliced mushrooms
sliced onions
red, yellow or orange pepper strips
sliced carrots
broccoli florets
zucchini, cut into strips (discard the soft centre)
When sautéing numerous vegetables remember to add the quicker cooking ones (broccoli-mid way through, and zucchini-very end) later in the cooking process. Saute till almost tender, add the meat, and sauce ingredients:
1 1/2 Tbsp. hoisin sauce
1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp. orange juice
reserved marinade
And as much of the marinade as needed to make the amount of sauce you prefer. Cover and cook for 3 minutes. Mix 2 tsp. cornstarch with a little more cold water and stir into the sauce in the pan. Cook until sauce thickens. (If needed you can add more cornstarch if you like it even thicker). Serve immediately over rice or thin noodles.
