UMAMI BEEF STIR-FRY
A really easy stir fry, satisfies that taste for Asian cooking at home. For a really fast meal you can make this with frozen vegetables. It's just a good with pork or chicken. The method can be used for any combination that you desire. Add nuts, seafood, lamb, mushrooms, water chestnuts, whatever you like! -- You can use portabella mushrooms or tofu in place of the meat for a vegetarian treat. A great opportunity to clean out the veggie drawer :-).

Steps:
- Combine liquid marinade ingredients in a 2 cup heat proof measure, heat in the microwave (or in a pan of hot water) just enough to thin the honey, stir to combine, add spices, stir.
- Allow to cool.
- Meanwhile trim all fat from beef, slice up meat, place meat and marinade in a 1 gallon ziploc bag, remove all air from bag and refrigerate for 4 to 48 hours.
- Remove meat from marinade, drain in colander, reserve strained marinade!
- In a wok or large skillet over medium/high with teaspoon of sesame oil (just enough to coat pan when wiped with a paper towel) cook meat until lightly browned, stirring constantly.
- Pull meat from center of pan and add chopped vegetables and 1/4 cup of water.
- Cover and bring to a simmer.
- Cook until veggies are tender, about 5 minutes or until desired tenderness is reached, be sure to stir every few minutes after the first 5.
- Remove meat/veggie mixture, pour reserved marinade into pan, bring to a boil.
- Allow to boil for a minute or two to kill any bacteria that was present from the marination process.
- While stirring constantly, slowly pour cornstarch mixture into heated marinade until desired thickness is reached it may not take all the cornstarch.
- Just GO SLOW as once the thickening process starts it happens almost instantly.
- Add meat/veggies back into the sauce, toss to mix and coat, pour onto a serving platter.
- Serve with white rice.
