BEEF WITH BROCCOLI OR CAULIFLOWER

1/4 kilo sirloin steak
2 tsp salt
2 tsp rice wine or sherry
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 C oil
1/4 kilo broccoli or cauliflower, divided into flowerets
chicken stock or water, if needed
2 stalks leeks, cut into 1" lengths
1 small can button mushrooms, sliced
1 tbsp soy sauce

Slice sirloin steak into narrow strips. Put in a bowl with 1 tsp salt, wine and cornstarch. Mix well. Set aside for 20 minutes.
Heat half of the oil in a wok or frying pan. Add the broccoli or cauliflower and the remaining salt. Stir-fry for a few minutes, adding a little stock or water to moisten, if necessary. Remove from pan and drain. Heat the remaining oil. Add the leeks and stir fry for a few seconds. Add the steak and stir fry until evenly browned. Stir in mushrooms, soy sauce, and broccoli or cauliflower. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes.
Serve with hot rice.

That sounds yummy, too. I always get hungry reading your recipes. ;)

I make one almost like that except that it's got diced onions instead of leeks, and orange juice instead of Sherry.
