Beef and Pepper Stir-fry image

Provided by Bill

Categories     Beef

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 17

12 ounces flank steak ((sliced into thin strips))
¼ teaspoon baking soda ((optional tenderizer))
2 teaspoons soy sauce
½ teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons oil
3 cloves garlic ((sliced))
8 long hot green peppers ((de-seeded and julienned into 3-inch/8cm strips))
1 long hot red pepper ((de-seeded and julienned into 3-inch/8cm strips))
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
¼ cup chicken stock ((optional))

Steps:

  • Add all the marinade ingredients to the beef in a bowl, mix well, and set aside for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • When you're ready to cook, place a wok over high heat until it's almost smoking, then add the oil. Sear the beef until it's just browned but still a little rare. Turn off the heat while you transfer the beef to a separate bowl. Leave any oil/fat in the wok.
  • Heat the wok back up over medium-high heat and add the garlic and peppers. Stir-fry for 20 seconds, then spread the Shaoxing wine around the wok to de-glaze it.
  • Stir-fry for another 20 seconds and add the beef back to the wok along with any juices from the bowl. Add salt, sugar, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and white pepper. Turn the heat back up to high and stir-fry for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the peppers turn darker.
  • If you like more sauce, add the chicken stock to further de-glaze the wok and reduce the liquid slightly. The cornstarch from the marinade will help thicken the sauce. Plate and serve immediately with rice.

HOT & SPICY SZECHWAN BEEF STIR FRY



Hot & Spicy Szechwan Beef Stir Fry image

This used to call for a cheap cut of flank steak but flank steak has been 'discovered'. It's not worth $6-7 a pound. It is probably my fault, I spent years singing the glories of the stuff and people finally believed me. That is the way of it all. If you can find it use soy sauce made with water, soy beans, and salt and nothing else. It is much richer and better. Portions and cooking time are a guess.

SWEET AND SPICY GRILLED FLANK STEAK



Sweet and Spicy Grilled Flank Steak image

There are some steaks that need nothing more than a little salt and pepper to bring out their beefy goodness. Flank steak is not one of them. This bold marinade is just the sort of seasoning the brawny cut begs for: lime juice and zest add brightness, brown sugar sweetness, and jalapeño and sriracha a complex heat. Just whiz it all together in a food processor and slather it on the meat. Marinate overnight (or 20 minutes if that's all the time you have) before tossing it on the grill. Lastly, always make more flank steak that you think you want. Leftovers are the best part.

Categories     dinner, weekday, weeknight, steaks and chops, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons coarsely chopped scallions
1 tablespoon peeled and finely chopped ginger
1 fresh jalapeño, seeded if desired, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
Zest of 1/2 lime
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 teaspoon sriracha or other hot sauce (or to taste)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds flank steak

Steps:

  • In a food processor, pulse together scallion, ginger, jalapeño, garlic, sugar, lime zest and juice, and sriracha. With the motor running, pour in oil until smooth.
  • Season steak with salt. Place in a large bowl and pour marinade over meat. Turn to coat well with the mixture. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • When you are ready to cook the steak, heat the grill to medium-high heat, or heat the broiler with the rack set 4 inches from the heat source. Transfer meat to the grill and cook, covered, until it reaches the desired doneness (about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare), or broil until charred and done to taste, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Let rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a flank steak that is at least 1 inch thick. This will help to ensure that the steak is cooked evenly and stays juicy.
  • Be sure to score the steak before marinating it. This will help the marinade to penetrate the meat and flavor it evenly.
  • If you don't have time to marinate the steak for the full 30 minutes, you can still cook it. Just be sure to reduce the cooking time by a few minutes.
  • When cooking the steak, be sure to heat the grill or pan over high heat. This will help to sear the steak and lock in the juices.
  • Cook the steak for only a few minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Overcooking will make the steak tough and chewy.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the juices in the steak and prevent it from drying out.

Conclusion:

This hot and spicy flank steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The marinade infuses the steak with flavor, and the spicy rub gives it a nice kick. Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or potatoes.
