Beef Stir Fry with Chili Garlic Sauce

I had luck with a quick beef stir fry yesterday and thought I'd share the recipe. I had a 2 pound beef sirloin tip roast and decided to cut it into small strips for stir frying. It was a tender cut of beef, which may be part of the secret. I'll call this:

Beef stir fry with chili garlic sauce

2 lbs beef sirloin tip, cut into thin strips
1 inch of fresh ginger, sliced into thin strips
2 tbs soy sauce (or to taste)
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tbs oyster sauce
2 tsp chili garlic sauce (or to taste)
1 tsp corn starch
2-4 tbs canola oil

Mix all the ingredients together except the canola oil.

Heat half the oil in a large saucepan on medium high heat. Add half the beef mixture and stir fry constantly for about 5 minutes. I've learned it's not good to overcrowd the pan. Neither is it good to overcook the beef. Empty the now saucy contents into a serving dish. Heat the other half of the oil in the saucepan. Now stir fry the rest of the beef mixture for about 5 minutes. Empty into the serving dish. You're done!

We had it with steamed white rice and some mixed vegetables.

I think the chili garlic sauce sounds hotter than it is, and brings a lot of flavour to the dish.
