Canadian Ginger Beef is delicious and reminiscent of Chinese Stir Fried Beef, except it has a crispier texture and sweeter sauce. The sesame seeds may be toasted in a separate pan for 3-5 minutes before adding. This recipe makes 4 servings.

Ingredients:

1 lb. of flank or sirloin steak thinly sliced
2 tbsp. soy sauce
1/2 cup beef stock
1 tsp. corn starch
2 tbsp. rice vinegar
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 tbsp. grated ginger root
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 carrots, julienned
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tbsp. sesame seeds, toasted
1/4 cup water

Combine hoisin sauce, beef stock, corn starch, vinegar and soy sauce. Divide and use 1/2 to evenly coat the beef. Let it set for a few minutes while 1/2 of the oil heats in the wok. Stir fry the beef about 2 minutes until the outside is brown, then move to a plate and keep warm. Add ginger, garlic and remaining oil to wok, and stir fry for one minute. Reduce heat, then add carrots and water. Steam for 4 minutes. Return meat and remaining sauce to wok and cook for about 2 minutes until thickened. Add sesame seeds and onions. Serve over noodles or steamed white rice.
