EASY CLASSIC CHINESE BEEF STIR FRY
Made with a classic Chinese stir fry sauce, this is a great recipe to use up whatever leftover greens you have in the fridge! Instead of making this Sauce, you can use my All Purpose Stir Fry Sauce (see Note 1) If using economical beef, consider tenderising it the Chinese way ("velveting", simple, highly effective, see Note 5!)

Steps:
- Prepare Beef: Pat beef dry with paper towels if wet. Cut into thin 1/4-inch slices against grain (Note 4). Add beef to large mixing bowl, and evenly sprinkle corn starch over beef. Toss together until beef is well-coated. Set aside.
- Make Sauce: Add all peanut sauce ingredients to small bowl and vigorously stir until very smooth. While stirring, sauce will initially appear clumpy, but will quickly develop smooth consistency. Set aside.
- Cook Carrots: Heat oil in large nonstick pan (Note 5) over medium heat. Add carrots and cook until softened, a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Cook Beef: Add beef to pan with carrots. Cook until beef is mostly browned with little pink remaining, a few minutes, spreading well and flipping slices to brown all sides. Tongs or chopsticks may be useful for this.
- Add Sauce: Add peanut sauce and peanuts to pan, stirring everything together for a minute until beef and carrots are evenly coated with sauce. Turn off heat.
- Serve: Briefly stir in sliced scallions. Serve immediately (Notes 6-7).

Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of the cornstarch until foamy; season with salt and pepper. Add the beef and chives, toss to coat in the marinade and stick it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Pour the peanut oil in a large skillet or wok and place over high heat. When the oil is smoking hot, add 1/2 of the beef. (If you fry all the meat at once the oil temperature will drop and the beef will stew instead of crisp.) Fry for 2 minutes then remove to a paper towel to drain; repeat with the remaining beef. Very carefully drain all but 2 tablespoons of the hot oil into a safe container.
- Stir-fry the ginger, garlic, green onions, and chile in the remaining oil until they perfume. Add the green beans; season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry the beans for 2 minutes until crisp-tender; remove from the pan. Mix the chicken broth with the remaining tablespoon of cornstarch to make a slurry and add it to the pan. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, peanut butter, and orange peel. Simmer until the sauce is thick, about 5 minutes. Return the beef and green beans to the pan, tossing to coat in the sauce. Garnish with chopped peanuts and serve with rice.
