This was easy & made a very tasty meal. I thinly sliced the carrots instead of grating, added broccoli, and used a chili sauce instead of chili paste. To my portion I also added sambal at the table. The result was a spicy, but not overly hot dish. The beef is well seasoned during the marinating time & the dish is colorful. I see using this recipe over & over & utilizing whatever is on hand. Made for Spring '09 Pick A Chef.

I live in the Bay Area of San Francisco and am thankful that I have access to year-round farmer's markets, an amazing climate, and am surrounded by foodies (like me!). Things I can't live without.... coffee, granola and yogurt, a good book, a garden, and people. Life is good!
