Provided by AllergyGirl

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 tablespoon tamari soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 lb flank steak
2 -3 tablespoons peanut oil
1 sweet onion
1/2 lb asparagus
1 red bell pepper
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Trim the excess fat and cut the flank steak in small, bite-size pieces. Combine the ingredients for the marinade and let the beef marinate for at least 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut the onions in thin slices. The bell peppers should be seeded and cut in 1-inch slices. Cut the tougher ends of the asparagus and slice them on the diagonal into 2-inch long pieces.
  • Bring a medium pan of water to a boil, reduce to a simmer and throw the asparagus in for about 2 or 3 minutes. Drain them, run them under cold water and dry them.
  • In a wok or sauté pan over a high flame, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the marinated beef strips, making sure it makes a nice sizzling sound. Once the meat is nicely browned on the outside, but still tender in the middle, about 2-3 minutes depending on the size, take it out and set it aside on a plate. You may need to sear the beef in two batches if your wok is not big enough.
  • Add 1 more tablespoon of the oil, and briefly stir-fry the asparagus for 3-4 minutes at medium-high eat. Set the asparagus aside and keep warm.
  • Add another tablespoon of oil, if necessary, and add the onions. Toss and turn until they have a nice golden brown color, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the peppers and stir until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add sugar and vinegar, and cook for a few more minutes until the onions begin to caramelize.
  • Add the stock and bring to a simmer cooking for another 2 minutes to reduce the liquid. Mix the cornstarch with the 3 tablespoons of water and add slowly add it to the mixture until the sauce is a thick as you desire.
  • Return the beef and the asparagus to the pan and stir for another minute or so to amalgamate the flavors. Serve immediately with some white or brown rice.

CHINESE BEEF AND PEPPERS



Chinese Beef and Peppers image

This dish is not going to taste like the Americanized yet popular version at Chinese takeouts. Way way better! Enjoy!

Provided by Marsha Gardner

Categories     Beef

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb flank steak
1 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
1/2 Tbsp rice wine
1/2 Tbsp sugar
1 1/2 medium green bell peppers, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
4 oz mushrooms, sliced (optional)
any spicy chili, sliced (optional)
1 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
2 Tbsp oyster sauce
rice to serve

Steps:

  • 1. Slice flank steak against the grain in 1/4″ slices. For thicker parts of the flank steak, you may need to slice the strip in half so it's not too wide. In a medium bowl, mix beef with soy sauce, rice wine, and sugar. Set aside for 15 minutes.
  • 2. While beef is marinating, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok or similar on high. Add peppers, mushrooms if using and onions with a sprinkle of salt. Stir and fry for a minute, and remove from heat and set aside. The peppers should still be crisp. After the peppers rest for a few minutes, they will excrete some liquid (amount varies with different peppers). Drain and discard the liquid. When beef has rested 15 minutes and peppers are ready, mix cornstarch into marinated beef.
  • 3. Heat 2 tablespoons oil on high in a wok or similar. Add beef and stir quickly, separating the slices. When beef has started turning color with some pink spots remaining, add vegetarian oyster sauce. Stir quickly to distribute. Add peppers back in. Give a few good tosses and serve with rice immediately.

Time 3h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 tablespoons olive oil
3 pounds skirt or flank steak, cut into large pieces
2 bay leaves
1/2 onion, peeled and studded with 4 whole cloves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 green bell peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
2 red bell peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 (14 to 16-ounce) can whole tomatoes with juice, chopped
1/2 cup pimiento-stuffed Spanish olives, drained and halved
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
Serving Suggestion: White rice

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper and cook, turning once, until well browned.
  • Transfer the steak with 1 bay leaf and the clove-studded onion to a large pot, with a tight-fitting lid, and cover with water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, covered, until tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the heat and cool the meat in the liquid for about 30 minutes. Transfer meat to a platter and cover, to keep warm. Reserve 2 cups of the cooking liquid. (Stew may be made up to this point 1 day ahead.)
  • Meanwhile, return the skillet to medium-high heat and heat the remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Add the remaining bay leaf, peppers, garlic, onion, oregano, and cumin and cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until dark red, about 1 minute more. Add the 2 cups reserved liquid, tomatoes, and olives and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • While the vegetables are cooking, pull the steak into shreds. Add the steak and peas to the vegetable mixture and cook, stirring, until just heated through. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve with white rice.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 large red bell pepper
1/4 to 1/2 large jalapeno pepper

1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 to 1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp salt
1 lb sirloin steak
32 oz vegetable broth (i used low-sodium broth)
1 c water
15 oz white beans (navy beans, cannellini beans, great northern beans)
1 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped
1/2 tsp a-1 brand texas mesquite blend marinade

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400°.
  • 2. Cut poblano pepper, bell pepper and jalapeno pepper in half; discard seeds. Rub olive oil on the skins of all the peppers, and place on a baking sheet with the skin side facing up. Roast in oven for 15 minutes at 400° or until skins just begin to blister.
  • 3. While peppers are roasting, mix together the garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, dried basil, and salt. Rub the seasoning blend on both sides of the sirloin steak. Heat olive oil in skillet, add the coated sirloin steak and brown on both sides over medium heat. Cut the browned beef into bite-size pieces and add to a Dutch oven or large stockpot.
  • 4. Remove roasted peppers from oven. When cool enough to handle, cut Poblano and bell peppers into bite-size pieces, and mince the jalapeno pepper. Add peppers to stockpot.
  • 5. Add vegetable broth, water, beans, fresh basil, and A-1 Texas Mesquite marinade to the stockpot, and stir a few times. Cook soup over medium-low heat for 30 to 45 minutes or until beef is done throughout, stirring occasionally.

Tips:

  • Slice the Peppers Thinly: Thinly slicing the peppers will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a Large Skillet: A large skillet will provide ample space for the beef and peppers to cook without overcrowding.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season the beef and peppers liberally with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will enhance the flavor of the dish.
  • Cook in Batches: If you have a lot of beef and peppers, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Serve Immediately: Beef and peppers are best served immediately after cooking. This will ensure that they are at their peak flavor and texture.
