3/4 tsp. meat tenderizer
3 tbsp. salad oil
2 green peppers, cut in 1-inch squares
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 c. diagonally sliced celery

3 tbsp. soy sauce
3/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp. monosodium glutamate
3/4 tsp. ginger
2 tsp. lemon juice

Cut beef into paper-thin slices; sprinkle with tenderizer. Heat salad oil in large skillet over high heat. Add beef slices; cook briefly, just until red color disappears. Add peppers, scallions, and celery. Cook 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
