Cooked by me

Sorry, I have yet another food post, but this one is the first picture I've posted of a meal actually cooked by me. This is one of my favourite comfort foods, stir fried beef and tomato.  A tasty sweet and gingery concoction, so good!

 

Edited to add my recipe for this yummy dish, by request.

Brenda's Beef and Tomato

I don't really use a recipe, but here's kind of what I do:

 

Ingredients:

Round steak

Onion

Corn starch

Oil

Soy sauce

Fresh tomatoes

Ginger root

Sugar

 

Cut steak into thin slices.  Works best if steak is slightly frozen.  Place in bowl.  Slice onion and place in bowl with steak.  Add dollop of oil (a tablespoon or so, depending on amount of steak) and a tablespoon or two of corn starch (again depending on the amount of steak).  Drizzle soy sauce over top, and mix together.  Cover and place in fridge for a couple hours.

 

Heat oil in frying pan.  Add steak/onion mixture and stir fry until almost cooked.  Add tomatoes cut in wedges as well as ginger root peeled and cut in small pieces (I've never measured the ginger root, probably a teaspoon or so but according to taste). Sprinkle in about a teaspoon of sugar, to to taste.  Cook until tomatoes are soft.

 

Serve over hot steamed rice.  Enjoy!
