Ingredients

8 oz. round of beef, with all visible fat removed before weighing
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/3 tsp. salt
2 tsp. sherry, or to taste
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1/4 C. water
1 lb. frozen green beans, cut into 1-inch lengths

Cooking Instructions

Cut beef into pieces about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick and about 1 inch long. Refrigerate until needed. Mix soy sauce, cornstarch, salt, and sherry well. Pour over the meat. Mix lightly and let set at room temperature for about 1/2 hour, or refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Drain well, reserving the marinade. Spread oil over the bottom of a fry pan. Add meat and reserved marinade, stirring frequently, until the meat is well coated with the sauce. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally. Add beans and stir until meat and beans are well coated with the sauce. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are crisp and tender.
