BEEF WITH GREEN BEANS



Beef With Green Beans image

We really enjoyed this super easy dinner which was printed in the newspaper (originally from Easy Chinese Stir-fries). Although I think you can cut the oil in half this isn't bad calorie wise using the amount listed. Also this seems like a lot of pepper but this really isn't a spicy dish -- I think the pepper tenderizes the meat some how.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb green beans, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
3/4 lb flank steak, trimmed
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon chinese rice wine (I used Mirin)
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons black pepper
3 tablespoons peanut oil (see my note in description)
1/4 cup water
2 slices ginger, unpeeled
1 onion, slilced

Steps:

  • In a bowl whisk together marinade ingredients (soy sauce - pepper).
  • Slice steak with the grain into 2-inch strips and then across the grain into 1/2 inch pieces (the directions say 1/8 inch pieces but mine were closer to 1/2 inch to 1 inch) and then add them to marinade, toss, and set aside.
  • Heat one tablespoon oil in wok over medium high heat until hot. Add beans and stir for 1 minute. Add water and reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook for 5-10 minutes. Transfer beans to bowl.
  • Add remaining oil (see note in description) to wok and increase heat to high. Add ginger and stir until oil is hot and ginger sizzles (1 minute).
  • Add onion and stir for one minute.
  • Add beef mixture to wok and stir until beef is done (2-5 minutes).
  • Return beans and liquid to wok and stir until mixed and heated through. Discard ginger.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cut green beans or cut them into 1-inch pieces before cooking.
  • If you don't have beef broth on hand, you can use water or vegetable broth instead.
  • For a thicker sauce, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the skillet at the end of cooking.
  • Serve the green beans and beef over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.
