Categories     main dish     meat

Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 lb. Flank Steak, Sliced Very Thin Against The Grain
1/2 c. Low Sodium Soy Sauce
3 tbsp. Sherry
2 tbsp. Packed Brown Sugar
2 tbsp. Cornstarch
1 tbsp. Minced Fresh Ginger
2 cloves Garlic, Minced
1 tsp. Red Chile Paste (or A Few Dashes Red Chile Oil)
2 tbsp. Canola Oil
1 whole Medium Yellow Onion, Sliced
2 whole Red Bell Peppers, Cored And Sliced Into Rings
1 tbsp. Diced Fresh Jalapeno (or 1 Teaspoon Dice Hot Pepper)
Red Pepper Flakes, For Sprinkling
Cilantro Leaves

Steps:

  • Mix together soy sauce, sherry, brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, garlic, and chili paste (or chili oil.) Place sliced beef in the mixture and toss to coat. Set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high to high heat. When it is very hot, throw in the onions and cook for less than a minute. Remove to a separate plate. Return skillet to flame, allow to reheat, and add bell peppers (and hot pepper/jalapeno if using.) Cook for a minute, tossing, until peppers have brown/black bits but are still firm. Remove to a plate. Return skillet to heat and allow to get hot. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add 1/3 of the meat mixture, evenly distributing over the surface of the skillet. Allow to sit for 20 to 30 seconds, then turn with tongs. Cook for another 30 seconds, then remove to a separate plate. Repeat with remaining meat until all brown.Reduce heat to low. Add all meat, onions, and peppers to the skillet and toss to combine. Pour in remaining sauce (the sauce the meat marinated in*) and stir. Allow to simmer on low for a few minutes. Sauce will slowly thicken. Turn off heat. *Update/Note: you can also whip up an extra batch of liquid if you do not want to use the same liquid you use for the meat. Turn off boiling water, then throw in noodles. Stir, then allow noodles to sit in hot water for 8 minutes or so (check package directions to be sure.) Drain, then add 1/2 the noodles to stir fry. Toss together, then add more noodles to taste. Add very hot water if needed to thin. Top with cilantro leaves. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Flank steak, sirloin steak, or tenderloin are all good choices for this dish. Just be sure to slice the beef against the grain to ensure tender results.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, and garlic powder helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot wok or skillet is essential for getting a good sear on the beef and vegetables. If your wok or skillet is not hot enough, the food will steam instead of sear.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet: When cooking the beef and vegetables, be sure not to overcrowd the wok or skillet. Otherwise, the food will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the beef in batches: If you are using a small wok or skillet, you may need to cook the beef in batches. This will help to ensure that the beef is cooked evenly.
  • Use a cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce: A cornstarch slurry is a mixture of cornstarch and water that is used to thicken the sauce. To make a cornstarch slurry, simply combine equal parts cornstarch and water in a small bowl and stir until smooth.
  • Serve over rice: Pepper beef with cashews is traditionally served over rice. However, you can also serve it over noodles or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Pepper beef with cashews is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
