Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs venison bottom round roast you can use any roast you like
For marinade
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup soy sauce gluten free, for GF
- 1/2 cup cooking oil
- 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp finely minced garlic
For Stir Fry
- 1/2 lb fresh green beans
- 1/2 large red pepper, sliced thin
- 1/2 large yellow pepper, sliced thin
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
Instructions
- Trim roast of silver skin and fat. Pound roast with meat mallet vigorously on both sides.
- Slice roast, against grain, very thin. Less than 1/4 inch. (Works easier if roast is slightly frozen.)
- Mix marinade ingredients together and pour over sliced venison. Stir. You can refrigerate overnight but if you have the time, let them marinate for 2 hours. If they are frozen, you don't have to refrigerate them, unless it's very warm out.
- In a large frying pan, or wok add about a tablespoon of oil, over high heat.. Peanut oil works well but any higher temperature oil will work.
- Cook the venison, in batches just for a few seconds. Flip and cook the other for another few seconds. It will not take a minute to cook both sides. When you remove the venison to drain, it should still be pink in the center. Reserve marinade!
- Drain, each batch on your wok rack, or paper towel. After all of the venison is cooked, cook the green beans. They will take about 5 minutes to reach crisp, tender. Drain.
- Next stir fry the peppers. They will only take about 1 minute to achieve tender crisp consistency. Drain.
- Dump any oil that is left in the wok. Turn down heat. Add reserved marinade to pan and then add the cornstarch.
- Cook until sauce turns a a beautiful dark brown color. Use a whisk to remove lumps from cornstarch, if needed.
- Add meat and vegetables back to wok and toss to coat. Heat through. Serve with rice. (I like Jasmine rice)
