The best part about stir-fry, other than it's packed with all the flavors we crave, is that it's done in 20 minutes.

Hoisin Beef and Pepper Stir-Fry

Trim fat from meat. Thinly slice meat across the grain into bite-size strips. Toss beef with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and cornstarch; set aside for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, for sauce, in a small bowl stir together remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, sherry, hoisin sauce, water, ginger, garlic, sugar and crushed red pepper.

In a wok or large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat. Add beef strips to hot wok. Cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes or until meat is slightly pink in center. Push meat from center of wok. Add remaining oil to center of hot wok. Add bell peppers; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes or until peppers are crisp-tender.  Push peppers from center of wok.

Add sauce mixture to center of hot wok. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Push beef and peppers toward center of wok; cook and stir 1 minute more or until heated through. Serve immediately over rice.
