Beef stir fry with mushrooms and leeks

The best way to do any kind of meat stir fry with vegetables is to do them separately first, then combine together later. That way the veggies are not overcooked, because meats often take much longer to cook. I made this dish a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, I don't blog as fast or often as I cook :) It's always a good thing, right? Wouldn't it be so sad if I'd spend time blogging and left my guinea pig hungry?

Step 1: Rinse mushrooms and leeks really well; chop the mushrooms in halves and cut the leeks into 1 in long pieces

Step 2: Cut meat in thin slices then season with 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, half a teaspoon of worcester sauce, a few pinches of salt and pepper, red pepper, and mince garlic

Step 3:  While letting the meat marinate, I would try to save time by stir frying mushrooms and leeks in 2 teaspoons of soysauce, one to 2 pinch of salt and pepper (try not to use a lot of sodium products if you want a healthier diet). To speed up the process of cooking the veggies, add a cup of water and let it cook for 10 minutes.

Step 4: Stir fry the beef in medium heat



Step 4b: Drain out the juice from the meat after cooking them at medium heat for 20 mins or until you don't see red meat anymore. Continue cooking them for about 5 minutes until they get a little brown, this creates a good flavor for the meat.

Step 5: Combine the veggies and meat juice and let it cook  for 5 mins.

All done in just a little over 30 minutes, oh yeah it also cost less than $10 :)
