--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1       lb           Flank steak
   2       ts           Corn starch
   1       ts           Brown sugar
   5       tb           Soy sauce
     1/4   c            Peanut oil
   1       c            Cauliflower -- small florets
     1/2   c            Green pepper -- thinly sliced
   1       c            Carrots -- matchstick size
   1       c            Mushrooms -- sliced thin
   1       c            Fresh bean sprouts
   2       ts           Fresh ginger -- grated
   2       ts           Garlic -- minced

  Place the steak on a flat surface and, using a sharp knife, cut
  against the grain into slices about 2" wide. Slice each piece of
  steak horizontally into 2 or 3 pieces. Stack the slices and cut
  into 1/4" strips.

  Add the corn starch to the steak and toss to coat. Place the steak
  in a bowl and sprinkle over the sugar and soy sauce. Set aside.

  Heat 2 tb oil in a wok or large skillet and add the cauliflower,
  green pepper and carrot. Cook, stirring, until crisp-tender.

  Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, about 30 seconds longer. Add
  the bean sprouts and stir-fry for a few seconds longer.

  Remove the vegetables with a slotted spoon and set aside.

  Add the remaining oil to the wok or skillet. When it is very hot,
  add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, for a few seconds.
  Add the steak and cook, shaking the wok and stirring the strips of
  steak to separate them and cook evenly, about 1-2 minutes.

  Return the vegetables to the wok and toss quickly over high heat,
  then serve.
