Kiwi Beef Stir-fry

Ingredients:
Thinly sliced beef (you can also use chicken or pork, I was just on beef thing when I wrote most of these recipes because I needed iron!)
Kiwi (fruit)
Olive oil
Vinegar (white, white wine, or apple cider)
Salt
Sugar
Soy sauce (check ingredients)
Mushrooms
Snow peas
Cornstarch
Water
Rice

Make a marinade of finely chopped or pureed kiwi pieces, olive oil, vinegar, sugar, and salt. Add the thinly sliced beef to this and refrigerate for about an hour (like pineapple, kiwi has an enzyme in it that tenderizes meat). Discard marinade and cook the beef in a wok or frying pan. There's probably enough oil on the meat from the marinade that you won't need to add any. In a separate pan cook sliced mushrooms and snow peas with some soy sauce until they just start to get limp (but the snow peas are still a bit crunchy). Add the beef mixture to the veggies. Mix a small bit of cornstarch with water and a splash of soy sauce in a small bowl, and then quickly stir that into the stir fry until the sauce has thickened. Serve over rice, garnished with fresh kiwi slices if you have any left.
