BEEF STIR FRY - ASIAN STYLE



Beef Stir Fry - Asian Style image

Preparation time does include marinade time, just to allow the marinade to soak into the beef. To get neat thin slices of beef I freeze the beef for 45 mins and then slice thinly, giving me the perfect cut. I don't eat red meat but Hubby and Little Miss (DD) love beef and they enjoyed this quick recipe. Original recipe comes from Annette Sym's which was featured on Channel Nine's Extra but I have twinkled with it

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 teaspoons cornflour
1 tablespoon mirin or 1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
400 g porterhouse steaks or 400 g sirloin steaks, trimmed of fat and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon peanut oil or 1 tablespoon sunflower oil
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
200 g chinese broccoli or 200 g other asian greens (mix or match the greens)
1 cup green beans (fresh or frozen)
1/4 cup water

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl add 'marinade ingredients' (cornflour, mirin or dry sherry, sesame oil and reduced sodium soy sauce) and mix well.
  • Add the meat to the bowl and mix, making ensure all the slices are evenly coated. Set aside for 15 minutes so the beef could absorb the flavours.
  • Heat wok or frypan, add oil, heat and add onion, garlic and ginger cook until soft but not browned.
  • Add thinly sliced beef with the marinade and cook over a high heat for 3 minutes.
  • Add the greens of your choice (example broccoli, Chinese broccoli, snow peas, bok choy or Asian greens) and beans.
  • Add water to the wok and mix scrapping the sauce on the bottom of the wok.
  • Cook until the vegetables are just tender but retain their vibrant green colour (approximately 4 minutes).
  • Enjoy.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • High Heat: Japanese beef stir-fry is typically cooked over high heat. This helps to sear the beef and vegetables quickly, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish.
  • Tenderize the Beef: If you're using a tougher cut of beef, you can tenderize it by marinating it in a mixture of soy sauce, sake, and ginger for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Cut the Beef Against the Grain: When slicing the beef, cut against the grain. This will help to make the beef more tender and easier to chew.
  • Use Fresh Vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your stir-fry the best flavor and texture. If you can, try to use organic vegetables whenever possible.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland.
  • Add Sauce at the End: Add the sauce to the stir-fry at the very end of the cooking process. This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.

Conclusion:

Japanese beef stir-fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and authentic Japanese beef stir-fry that your family and friends will love.
