directions
- Boil water for rice and prepare to package directions.

- Heat a wok-shaped skillet over high heat; add oil (it will smoke) and beef pieces; stir-fry for 3 minutes, then remove meat from pan.
- Return pan to heat and add peppers and onions; stir-fry 2 minutes, and then stir the meat back into the pan.
- Add in sherry and stir-fry until liquid almost evaporates, about 1 minute.
- Add in tamari; dissolve cornstarch with a ladle of warm beef broth; add beef broth to the pan, then the cornstarch combined with broth, the five-spice powder, and black pepper.
- Stir until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Adjust seasonings to taste; add more tamari or salt if necessary.
- Remove from heat; fill dinner bowls with beef stir-fry; with an ice cream scoop, place a nicely rounded scoop of rice on top of beef.
- Garnish with chopped scallions and smoked almonds.
