quickly prepared and still delicious

Mix together the soy sauce, oil, chili pepper, curry, and ginger. Marinate the shredded beef in it for at least 30 minutes, then fry in hot oil. Tie the lemongrass together (to prevent fraying) and tuck in the ends to release the flavor. Remove the meat from the pan/wok and fry the lemongrass with the onion. When the onion is golden brown, add the tomatoes and sauté. Return the meat and let it simmer for a short while. Cook the rice with the lemongrass and season with chili powder. Remove the lemongrass and serve.
