Stir-Fry Beef with Celery and Almonds
 
 
Author:
Recipe type: Entree
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 12 ounces leftover steak or roast beef, cubed (see notes)
  • ¼ cup water
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried ginger
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons sesame chile oil
  • 1-2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoons canola oil
  • 8 stalks celery, sliced
  • 1 large onion, diced small
  • ¼-1/2 cup whole almonds
Instructions
  1. Place the beef in a bowl. Combine the water, garlic, ginger, ketchup, sesame oil, and oyster sauce and whisk together, then pour over beef, tossing to ensure all pieces are evenly coated. Let stand at room temperature to marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat canola oil in a large skillet over high heat and saute celery and onion until slightly soft, about 3 minutes. Add beef, along with all of the marinade, and cook, stirring frequently, for an additional 2 minutes. Serve over rice and top with whole almonds.
Notes
You don't need leftover beef to make this, and flank steak, strip steak, or just about any cut of beef will work - just cut it into cubes and cook a little longer if you're starting with raw meat instead of leftovers.
