Recipe - Broccoli And Bits-O-Barley Bake

One half pound Lean beef (preferably flank
steak)
1 tablespoon Soy sauce
1 tablespoon Rice wine or sherry
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
1 Green onion; cut into 1"
pieces
1 teaspoon Fresh ginger; chopped

COOKING SAUCE
One half cup Chicken broth
2 tablespoon Soy sauce
2 tablespoon Oyster sauce
One half tablespoon Rice wine or sherry
2 teaspoon Cornstarch
2 teaspoon Sugar
A few drops sesame oil
1 pn Pepper

VEGETABLES
2 cup Broccoli flowerets
1 cup Canned mushrooms (straw or
button); drained
1 Carrot; cut or sliced up

1. Cut the beef across the grain into thin slices. Marinate in the soy
sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch. Set aside. 2. Cut up the green onion and
ginger. 3. Mix all the ingredients for the cooking sauce. 4. Blanch the
broccoli and carrot slices in boiling water with a pinch of salt until
slightly soft, but still crunchy. Drain and set aside. I usually do this
step in the microwave. 5. Heat a wok over high heat. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons
oil. Fry the green onion and ginger until fragrant, then add the marinaded
beef. Stir fry quickly until the meat changes color. 6. Pour in the
cooking sauce and heat until thickened and bubbly. 7. Mix in the
vegetables. 8. Serve over rice. Note: As with all Chinese cooking, it is
very important to have a strong heat

source. Have your stove on the highest setting, or if possible, cook in
your backyard on a propane gas stove. This takes care of the problem of
odors and smoke in your kitchen also.
