Tequila-Lime Beef - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 lbs sirloin steaks, sliced very thin across the grain
    1/3 cup garlic teriyaki sauce
    1 lime, zest and juice
    1 tablespoon hot catsup (or regular catsup and a couple good dashes tabasco)
    2 -3 tablespoons tequila
    3 -4 fresh mushrooms
    3 tablespoons water
    2 teaspoons cornstarch
    1 bunch green onion, sliced on the bias
    olive oil, for skillet or wok
Preparation
    Combine the lime zest and juice, the teriaki sauce, the tequila and the catsup.
    Marinate beef in this mixture for 30-40 minutes at room temperature.
    Mix water and cornstarch to make a slurry; set aside.
    Heat olive oil practically to smoking in large skillet (cast iron is best, but we're not*all* that lucky).
    Add mushrooms and onions, stir fry until mushrooms and onions slightly soften.
    Remove from skillet.
    Add beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until cooked through, then add veggies back in, and add cornstarch mixture.
    Cook over medium-high heat until bubbly and thickened.
    Serve with noodles, rice, or just by itself.
