Stir Fried Beef with Shanghai Bok Choy

I love this dish. I always order this delicious dish every time we eat at our favorite local Szechuan restaurant. And as always, I tell my family that I can recreate this dish at home. So, here it is, slices of tender and tasty beef with two of my favorite vegetables; shanghai bok choy and mushrooms. Marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine and cornstarch for 20 minutes gives it an added tenderness and flavor. Enjoy this savory dish with steamed rice or on its own.
