Easy Ginger-Lover's Skillet Beef

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This is an easy tasty recipe that can be made in a skillet or in a wok, you can also add in a red bell pepper or some canned drained mushroom slices if desired. To save some time ask your butcher to sliced the meat for you into thin slices. Partially freeze the beef, it will make slicing easier. This recipe will serve 4 small servings, my DS can eat the whole thing himself! I would suggest to double the ingredients."

This is a wonderful and very simple solution to ginger beef. If you are skiddish about spiciness, I would suggest you use the lowest amount given for the red pepper. I made this using the full amounts given for all ingredients and we really enjoyed it! Thanks for another wonderful dinner, Kittencal : )

I made the beef last night, it turned out excellent! I also add some red bell pepper and mushroom. But if you can't take too much spicy food, I suggest use half the red pepper flakes! It has very rich flavor. Next time I'll also add some broccoli. Very good!
