Directions

  1. 1Heat up the pan.
  2. 2Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, ensuring there are no lumps.
  3. 3Add oil to the hot pan.
  4. 4Add the velveted beef to the pan, placing it away from you to avoid splattering.
  5. 5Cook the beef until about medium-rare, then flip each piece to cook the other side.
  6. 6Drain most of the oil from the pan, saving a little bit.
  7. 7Add green peppers and onions to the pan with the beef and sauté.
  8. 8Once the vegetables are cooked down and the beef has color, add the mother sauce to the pan.
  9. 9Bring the sauce to a boil.
  10. 10Reactivate the cornstarch slurry by stirring it, then pour a little into the sauce.
  11. 11Stir the sauce until it boils again and thickens.
  12. 12Add a little more mother sauce to thin it out, if desired.
