3. Drive back to grocery, forgetting original receipt.
4. Go home with new beef and throw it on a skillet with some fancy oil.
5. Cook for somewhere between 5 minutes and 20 minutes.
6. In this time open beer.
7. Cut up some vegetables too.  Something that looks Asian-y.  Water chestnuts, peppers, onions, snap peas?
8. Remove beef and put veggies in skillet.
