Marinate meat for at least 15 minutes, tossing        occasionally. Drain meat; reserving the marinade for sauce. In a        large heavy skillet or wok, heat a little oil until hot but not        smoking. Over medium-high heat stir-fry meat for about 1 minute or        till almost done. Remove meat, set aside and keep warm.               In a small bowl mix together catsup, 1/2 cup sugar, vinegar and chili        paste. In another bowl mix 1/2 cup water and cornstarch.               Add the carrot and any broccoli stem pieces to the skillet and stir        fry for 1 or 2 minutes, add the onion and garlic and stir fry for        about 1 more minute. Add 1/2 cup of the water and cook for a few        minutes more till carrot is almost crisp tender. Add a little        additional oil if necessary. Add green pepper and any broccoli        florets and cook an additional 1 or 2 minutes. Stir in reserved        marinade. Stir in the catsup mixture and heat through. Add        cornstarch/water mixture and cook and stir till sauce bubbles and        thickens. Fold in meat and grapefruit sections. Serve immediately.               Makes 4 to 6 servings.               Formatted for MasterCook by Mardi amdesjar@mb.sympatico.ca November        21, 1997.               Mardi's notes: I got the original for this recipe from Woman's Day        Magazine, February 1981 but made a few modifications. The original        called for the meat slices to be coated with additional cornstarch        before browning and used 1/4 tsp black pepper instead of the chili        paste. I added the broccoli and doubled the amount of carrot because        it seemed to need more veggies. The vegetables could be varied        according to your preference. Cauliflower, snow peas and mushrooms        would likely all be good additions.               You may find the taste to be on the sweet side but it was well        received by my tasters. It would be a simple matter to cut back on        the amount of sugar. You could maybe start with 1/4 or 1/3 cup sugar        and add more if needed.               Serving Ideas : Serve over rice Posted to MC-Recipe Digest V1 #918 by        Mardi Desjardins |
