Tender marinated beef, crunchy mixed vegetables in a deliciously flavored sauce make an ideal dinner for two. Despite the many ingredients, this recipe comes together in a short amount of time.
Whisk together the marinade (fish sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, sherry wine, corn starch, pepper). Cut the beef tenderloin in thin slices and add them to the marinade. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a high rimmed skillet or better a wok and when oil starts to smoke a little add the smashed ginger. Cook for about 30 seconds.
Add matchstick cut carrots, bell pepper, cucumber and snow peas and stir fry until the vegetables are beautifully bright colored and just wilted. This will take about 3 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a dish and discard the ginger.
Add another tablespoon of peanut oil to the skillet or wok, set to high heat and add beef and the marinade. Spreading the beef out into a single layer and cook for about 2 minutes.
Stir the beef, add the vegetables back in and stir fry for another minute.
Mix cornstarch with vegetable stock and add this to the beef/vegetable mixture. Toss everything together and serve.
