Dashi Beef & Mushrooms

Dashi Beef & Mushrooms

Ingredients:

1 pound sirloin cut into strips

1 1/2 cups onions, sliced

1 1/2 cups red bell pepper, sliced

5 ounces shitake mushrooms, sliced

6 ounces baby white pearl mushrooms

1 bottle Wegman's Mushroom Dashi Simmer Sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sugar

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

Steps:

1)  Mix the sliced beef with soy sauce and sugar and set aside.  

2)  Heat one tablespoon of oil in a stir fry pan on high.  Stir fry half of the beef 3-4 minutes, transfer to a clean platter.  Repeat with remaining beef.

3)  Add remaining oil to the pan, add veggies and stir fry one minute, until the mushrooms are soft.

4)  Return beef to the stir fry pan, add sauce.  Stir fry 2 minutes to heat through.

Serves 4.  Total Time:  25 minutes.  Calories:  390 per serving.

Notes:

* I didn't use meat the first time I made this.  I used a soy product made by Wegman's which is a bag of tofu beef strips.

* I didn't have shitake mushrooms, so I added a handful of snow pea pods with only the ends trimmed off.

* I didn't have white onion, so I used 2 scallions which I diced.

* Step Saver:  Use pre-cut beef strips and pre-cut mushrooms

* You will need to go to a Wegman's to obtain the mushroom-dashi simmer sauce which is kept in the produce department.

* I would serve this over Basmati rice (white or brown.)  I imagine it would also go well with lo mein noodles, or udon, and both of these can be obtained at Wegman's.
