chinese garlic-ginger beef and tomato
(2 ratings)
Oh, so good! I got this recipe from a friend I worked with in California in the 1980's. She was an amazing woman of Chinese descent. I learned so much from her about her family's culture and the wonderful foods they loved. This is one of my favorites. It can be served on rice or noodles. Use more or less ginger to your liking. My family also loves this one. Over the years I lost track of her I am sad to say. But every time I make this or one of her other recipes I say "thank you Adreinne Hull!"

Cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 15 minutes. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve over rice or chow mein noodles.
