BOK CHOY WITH BEEF

Steps:

• Cut beef crosswise (across the grain) into 1/4-inch-thick slices, then cut slices into 1/2-inch-wide strips.

• Stir together marinade ingredients in a medium bowl until sugar is dissolved.
• Add beef, tossing to coat, and marinate 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Blanch bok choy:
• Separate bok choy into individual leaves and halve crosswise, keeping stems and leaves separate. Cook stems in a large pot of boiling water 15 seconds, then add leaves and cook 15 seconds more. Drain in a colander, then rinse with cold water to stop cooking and drain well.
• Fry beef:
• Stir together soy sauce, Sherry, and vinegar.
• Heat vegetable oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 400°F.
