Ginger Beef

mianbao's Note:

An old favorite of my mother from a Chinese cooking class. Don't ask me if it's authentic - I don't know. But it is quick, easy and delicious. Serve over hot rice, with broccoli and broiled pineapple.

Me and DH enjoyed this recipe a lot. It was so yummy. I used bourbon. This is so easy to do. I served it with steamed yellow beans and white rice. Thanks mianbao :) Made for your win in bargain basement tag game

Simple but complex and rich. Tenderloin is much softer than the beef I usually stir-fry; it was almost melty. I didn't marinate as long as it says, but it was still good.
