Ingredients

1/2 pound Boneless beef bottom round
1/2 cup Water
1/4 cup Red wine vinegar
2 teaspoon Minced dried onion
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
1/8 teaspoon Ground red pepper
6 ounce Linguine
2 tablespoon Butter
2 teaspoon Cornstarch
2 clove Garlic, minced
3 tablespoon Olive or cooking oil
1 package (16 oz) frozen loose pack

Directions

1
Partially freeze the beef to make slicing easier, then thinly slice it across the grain into bite-size strips.
2
In a medium bowl, combine the water, red wine vinegar, minced dried onion, pepper, and ground red pepper to create the marinade.
3
Add the sliced beef to the marinade, mixing well to coat, and let it marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente. Drain and toss with butter to prevent sticking; keep warm.
5
Drain the beef from the marinade, reserving the liquid in a separate bowl. Stir the cornstarch into the reserved marinade until smooth and set aside.
6
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
7
Add the marinated beef to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
8
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add the frozen vegetable pack and stir-fry for 4 minutes until heated through.
9
Give the cornstarch-marinade mixture a final stir and pour it into the skillet with the vegetables.
10
Return the beef to the skillet. Cook and stir constantly until the sauce bubbles and thickens, about 2 minutes.
11
Arrange the buttered linguine on a serving platter and top with the beef and vegetable mixture.
12
Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
