Canton Beef & Pineapple (Chinese Food Recipes)

Canton Beef & Pineapple

This simple yet explosively tasty beef recipe uses peppers which stir-fry better in water instead of oil. To save time, purchase pre-cut beef stir-fry meat or tenderloin tips. For a real taste treat try fresh-cut pineapple instead.

1 pound boneless beef top sirloin steak, cut 3/4-inch thick

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon cornstarch

2 green or red bell peppers, cut into 3/4-inch pieces

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 can pineapple chunks, drained

2 tablespoons water

Marinade Ingredients:

Sauce:

1/4 cup ketchup

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1. Cut beef steak in 3/4-inch cubes. In medium bowl, combine 1 TBS. soy sauce and corn starch; add beef and toss to coat.

2. In large nonstick skillet, heat 2 TBS. water over medium-high heat until hot. Add bell peppers and garlic; cook and stir 3 to 4 minutes or until water is evaporated and bell peppers are crisp-tender. Remove from skillet; set aside.

3. In small bowl, combine sauce ingredients; set aside. In same skillet, heat half of the oil until hot. Add beef (half at a time) and stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes or until outside surface is no longer pink; remove. Repeat with remaining oil and beef. Return beef to skillet.
