Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the light soy sauce, brandy, vinegar, Chinese five spice powder, honey, minced garlic, and white pepper. This combination will form a flavorful marinade with a hint of spice and sweetness.
-
Marinate the Meat: For stir fry, thinly slice one pound of your preferred meat, such as beef, chicken, or pork. Alternatively, for steak tips, use one pound of steak tips. Place the meat in a resealable ziplock bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the top. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to infuse the meat.
-
Cooking: Once marinated, remove the meat from the marinade. For stir fry, drain the marinade and stir fry the meat in a hot pan with a mix of your favorite vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, and broccoli. Alternatively, for steak tips, you can cook them under the broiler or on the grill for a delicious sear, turning occasionally until the meat reaches your desired level of doneness.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, serve the stir fry with rice or noodles, or enjoy the steak tips with a side of your favorite vegetables. This versatile marinade works perfectly with various meats, making it a go-to for quick and tasty meals.
