Beef Sorta Stir Fry

One of our favorite take-out foods in Chinese Food.  Unfortunately, now that our bodies are no longer used to junk, Chinese take-out doesn't love us.  I have been trying to recreate things, and most have failed.  This particular dish doesn't taste like take out, but it is reminiscent of it. 

I started by sauteeing onions and garlic in butter.  Most of my recipes start like that. 
I added in some grass-fed beef that I sliced up pretty thinly. 
Once it was starting to brown, I added in some celery. 
 When the meat was just about cooked, I added an egg to one side of the pan and fried it up.
By then, it was time for the sauce!  It is just a 3:1.5 mix of soy sauce and rice wine vinegar.  That's it!
The fast-cooking ingredients were added in last... mushrooms and beet greens!
Just  before I was ready to serve it, I added in some cooked rice.  
Now, normally, I would add in carrots when I added the celery, and ginger when I added the sauce.  THIS time, I just added the lactofermented ginger carrots on top at the end!

  5. Some of the best recipes in our kitchen came from recreating a favorite restaurant meal. After a good bit of effort...they turn out better than the original.

    Love the effort you put into this one and thanks for sharing at the hearth and soul hop.
