Beef and Kale Stir-Fry

from Chow Bella

For the meat:

1 lb lean beef, cut into thin slices

1 tbsp corn starch

1 tsp unbleached granulated sugar

1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce

2 tsp canola or vegetable oil

For the sauce: 

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

1 tbsp unbleached granulated sugar

1 tbsp oyster sauce

For the vegetables:

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper, any color, sliced

8 oz snow peas

4 cups chopped kale

cooked rice (optional)

1. In a medium bowl, combine the beef, corn starch, sugar, and soy sauce and let marinade at room temperature for 15 minutes.

2. In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients and set aside.

3. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp of oil to the pan, then add in the meat. Cook the meat until it's seared on the outside, then remove the meat from the pan and set aside. Immediately add the remaining oil, then the garlic, pepper, and snow peas. Stir-fry the vegetables until they are tender. Once the vegetables are slightly tender, add the kale and stir-fry a minute more.

4. Add the sauce ingredients and the meat to the vegetables and cook until the kale is slightly wilted and the sauce has thickened. Serve with cooked rice.
