• 2 lbs of round steak or sirloin
  
• 1 cup of beef broth
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp. ground ginger powder
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tbsp. paprika
• 1 tsp. chili powder
• 1/4 tsp. cayenne (or more if you like it hot)
• 1 cup sliced green onions
  
• 2 large green pepper (or 1 green and one red)
• 2 fresh Tomatoes (optional, I didn't use it this time)
  
• 2 cups of sliced mushrooms
• 3 tbsp. cornstarch
  
• 2 tbsp. oil

1. Cut meat into thin 1/4" strips, against the grain, this makes it more tender then if you cut it with the grain.
   
2. In a bowl combine next seven ingredients and marinade for one hour.
3. 1 hour and 15 minutes before serving, drain meat and reserve marinade.
4. In a wok or large skillet on high with the oil stir fry all the veggies, remove into a bowl when the colors are bright and veggies are still crunchy, you will add this back when the meat is done.
5. Stir fry meat, in batches til brown. Combine all the browned meat in the wok or large skillet.
   
6. Add marinade with 1 cup water.
7. Reduce heat to low and cover and simmer for 45 minutes.
8. Add the cornstarch in some cold water and add to the meat.
   
9. Cook for a few minutes until sauce thickens and is clear.
   
10. Add the stir fried veggies, heat through (also the tomatoes if you are using them.)
11. Goes well with rice.
