AMAZING Stir Fry

Okay, so stir-fry is nothing new to anyone. Chuck some meat/veg/tofu/seitan/tempeh/whatever into a pan, fry quickly in a little oil, serve with rice/noodles/whatever. But last night, I made a stir fry that was probably THE best I've ever made. I'm pretty sure it was the sauce combined with the non-traditional stir-fry veggies I used. Here's what I did:

**WARNING: This was not a vegetarian recipe. We a small eye round steak hanging out in the freezer and I wanted to use it up. You can make this veg by using your favorite meat substitute, though I haven't quite got the hang of marinating tofu yet.**

I marinated my meat in a mix of reduced-sodium soy sauce (about 1/3-1/2 cup), tahini (I used about a tablespoon), and a sprinkle of ground red pepper. I just made enough to marinate the meat.

While that was marinating, I chopped up what I had, which was mushrooms, zucchini, yellow squash, and tomato. I didn't chop it very small--after all, this IS stir fry. You could add onion, broccoli, cabbage, whatever. I put this in a wok (use a big skillet, same diff) with a little bit of olive oil and began to cook, about 5 minutes.

During those 5 minutes, I took out the meat and cut it into strips (cutting bigger strips in half). I moved the veggies to the sides of the wok, and threw in the meat + the marinade. I cooked it until the meat was almost cooked through, then re-stirred everything back together, and let it cook another minute or two for the flavors to combine.

Dr. Bugs said that the flavor was GREAT. I served it over some rice, and I wish I had leftovers!
