STIR FRY INGREDIENTS
    1 lb  flank or sirloin steak, sliced thin
    3-4  celery stalks, julienned
    2  carrots, julienned
      Green onion stems, julienned
    1/2 cup  peanut oil, ( or canola oil )
    1/4 cup  corn starch
    1/2 tsp  red pepper flakes
    1 1/2 tsp  sesame oil
SAUCE INGREDIENTS
    3 Tbsp  soy sauce
    2 Tbsp  Hoisin sauce
    1 Tbsp  chili paste, ( or garlic chili paste )
    1/2 tsp  hot mustard
    1 tsp  rice wine vinegar
    1/2 tsp  chili oil
    1-2 tsp  brown sugar
    1 tsp  garlic, minced
    1/2 tsp  ginger, minced
    1/2 tsp  red pepper flakes

White or Brown Rice

Mix all the sauce ingredients together and set aside.

IMPORTANT: make sure the vegetables are julienned and ready to go before cooking the meat.

Coat the beef slices with cornstarch and allow to stand for 10 minutes.
Rinse the beef free from cornstarch and pat dry to make sure there is no moisture that would cause splattering when deep-frying.

In a skillet, deep fry the sliced meat in hot peanut oil until crispy ... Remove from oil, drain on paper towels.

In a very hot wok with sesame oil, stir fry celery ... then red pepper ... then carrots ... Do not over-cook (you want them crisp).
Add meat ... then green onion. ***The whole stir fry process should be completed from start to finish within minutes***
Toss in sauce and bring to a fast boil.

Serve immediately over white or brown rice.
