375 g sirloin steak, cut into thin strips
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp fresh-ground black pepper
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, thinly sliced

Combine beef with soy, cornstarch and pepper in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Herbed beef with root mash - Pair it with: An understated red. Although the nebbiolo grape (found in barolos) gets all the press, the barbera varietal makes some outstanding food-friendly wines. The beautiful black fruits and spicy oak pair perfectly with hearty, comforting meals. Our pick: Pio Cesare Barbera d’Alba, Italy, $20.
