This vibrant, colorful dish is great for those who love a little heat. Adjust the amount of chile-garlic sauce according to your preferred heat level. To smash ginger, use the side of a chef's knife or the flat bottom of a sturdy mug. Serve with rice, if desired.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 ounces lean flank steak, trimmed
1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce, divided
1 teaspoon dry sherry plus 1 Tbsp., divided
1 teaspoon vegetable oil plus 1 Tbsp., divided
4 teaspoons hoisin sauce
4 teaspoons ketchup
1-3 teaspoons chile-garlic sauce or Sriracha
3 slices peeled ginger, smashed
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 cup diced green bell pepper (1-inch)
1 cup diced red bell pepper (1-inch)
2 tablespoons unsalted beef broth

Steps:

  • Cut beef with the grain into 2-inch-wide strips. Cut each strip across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Combine the beef, cornstarch, 1½ tsp. soy sauce, and 1 tsp. sherry in a medium bowl; stir until the cornstarch is no longer visible. Add 1 tsp. oil and stir until the beef is lightly coated.
  • Combine hoisin sauce, ketchup, chile-garlic sauce (or Sriracha) to taste, and the remaining 1½ tsp. soy sauce and 1 Tbsp. sherry in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed carbon-steel wok (or a 12-inch stainless-steel skillet) over high heat until a drop of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in the remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Add ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Push the ginger to the sides of the pan and add the beef in an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until the beef begins to brown, about 1 minute. Add onion and, using a metal spatula, stir-fry until the beef is lightly browned but not cooked through, 30 seconds to 1 minute more. Transfer the beef and onion mixture to a plate.
  • Add green and red peppers and broth to the pan. Cover and cook over high heat until the peppers are bright green and red and almost all the liquid has been absorbed, about 1 minute. Return the beef and onion and any accumulated juices to the pan. Add the reserved sauce and stir-fry until the beef is just cooked through and the peppers are tender-crisp, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove the ginger, if desired.

STIR-FRIED TOFU AND PEPPERS



Stir-Fried Tofu and Peppers image

This attractive stir-fry is inspired by a traditional Chinese dish called rainbow beef. The vegetarian version works well, and it's also easier to make. If you prefer a very firm tofu, take the extra time to weight it as directed in step 1. I am happy to skip this step and use firm tofu that hasn't been weighted.

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 pound firm tofu
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable, peanut or canola oil
2 teaspoons hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 red bell peppers, seeded and cut in 1-inch squares
1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut in 1-inch squares
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 large garlic cloves, green shoots removed, minced
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (to taste)
2 scallions, white and green parts, cut on the diagonal into 1-inch lengths
Cooked rice or noodles for serving

Steps:

  • Optional step for firmer tofu: Blot the tofu dry, wrap in a clean kitchen towel and place a cutting board on top. Let sit for about 15 minutes. Whether weighted or not, slice the tofu about 1/2 inch thick into 1- x 2-inch dominoes.
  • Mix together 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of the brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium bowl. Toss with the tofu, and stir to make sure all of the pieces are coated. Let sit for five to 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the remaining soy sauce and sugar, hoisin sauce and sesame oil. Set aside.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates on contact. Add the oil, turn the heat to medium-high and add the peppers. Stir-fry for a couple of minutes, until the peppers begin to soften, and add the garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 20 seconds, until the garlic and ginger begin to smell fragrant, and add the tofu, dried red pepper flakes and green onions. Stir-fry two minutes, give the sauce a stir and add to the pan. Cover and cook for three minutes. Remove the lid, stir the ingredients in the pan, and taste and adjust seasonings. Serve with rice or noodles.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This will help you save time and keep your stir-fry organized.
  • Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A wok or large skillet is ideal for stir-frying as it allows for even heat distribution and tossing of the ingredients.
  • Get Your Wok or Skillet Really Hot: High heat is essential for a successful stir-fry. Make sure your wok or skillet is nice and hot before adding the ingredients.
  • Use a High-Quality Oil: Choose an oil with a high smoke point, such as grapeseed or avocado oil, to prevent burning.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Wok or Skillet: Adding too many ingredients at once will lower the temperature and prevent even cooking. Cook the ingredients in batches if necessary.
  • Keep Stirring: Constantly stirring the ingredients will ensure even cooking and prevent them from sticking to the wok or skillet.
  • Add Sauce Gradually: Start with a small amount of sauce and add more to taste. This will help you avoid making the stir-fry too salty or overpowering.
  • Serve Immediately: Stir-fries are best served hot and fresh. Once cooked, transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish and enjoy!

With its tender beef, crisp-tender red peppers, and flavorful ginger-soy sauce, this gingered beef and red peppers stir-fry is a quick and easy meal that's packed with flavor.
