Stir-Fried Beef with Tofu
For this delicious Cantonese-style dish I tenderize the beef first in a baking soda-water mixture before marinating.

Beef with Broccoli & Oyster Sauce
A saucy, flavorful dish that's great served with steamed white rice. I adapted this recipe from Weichuan's Chinese Cuisine II . The original recipe called for Chinese broccoli and beef tenderloin or sirloin, but I used regular broccoli and flank steak instead.
