Stir-Fried Beef and Peppers

I found this recipe when I was first married and still love to make it. It is healthy and delicious!

1 pound lean beef, cut in paper-think strips (I buy the pre-cut beef for stir fry at Safeway in the meat section)

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon lemon juice

4 teaspoons cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon sugar

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 cup olive oil

1/2 pound mushrooms sliced

1 medium onion sliced

2 green peppers cut in strips

1/2 teaspoon salt

Combine meat strips with soy sauce, lemon juice, cornstarch, sugar, and ginger. Let stand while preparing veggies.

Heat oil in a large frying pan or Dutchoven.

Stir fry mushrooms, onions, green peppers, and salt until veggies are tender-crisp (i like mine a little softer)

Remove veggies from pan and reserve oil

Stir fry meat in the hot oil until done

Add veggies and stir until hot

Serve with cooked rice

*We don't eat it with rice to lower the carbs.

*I use about 1.5 lbs meat and I double the meat mixture ingredients because we like our's a little more saucey.
