Categories     Beef     Stir-Fry     Low Carb

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 lb asparagus, trimmed, cut on the diagonal into 1 1/2 inch lengths (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 lb of flank steak, sliced in half lengthwise (along the grain) and then cut into thin strips, 2 inches long and 1/4 inch wide (put the steak in the freezer for 15 minutes before slicing to make it easier to slice)
1 red bell pepper, seeded, de-ribbed, and cut into thin strips 2 inches long and 1/4 inch wide
2 teaspoons of cornstarch dissolved into 3 Tablespoons of water
All Purpose Stir Fry Sauce
3 Tbsp soy sauce (use gluten-free soy sauce for gluten-free version)
1 tsp finely chopped, peeled, fresh ginger
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 green onion, including green tops, chopped
1/2 tsp chili oil

Steps:

  • Method 1 While you are chopping the ingredients in preparation, bring a small saucepan of water to boil. Parboil the asparagus pieces for 2 minutes, drain, rinse in cold water, drain, and set aside. If you are planning to serve this dish with rice, in a separate pan, prepare 2 cups of white rice, following the instructions on the rice package. 2 Prepare the All Purpose Stir Fry Sauce by combining the ingredients in a small dish, and set aside. 3 Stir-fry the asparagus in a wok (or a thick-bottomed pan with at least 2" sides that can take high heat) in 1 Tbsp of oil, on high heat, for about 2 minutes until lightly browned. Remove asparagus from pan and set aside. 4 Add another 1 Tbsp of oil to the pan and stir fry the beef strips, in 2 batches, for 2-3 minutes until browned but still pink inside. Return the first batch of beef to the pan and add the bell pepper. Stir and toss over high heat until just beginning to wilt, 1-2 minutes. 5 Quickly stir the cornstarch liquid and add it to the pan along with the stir fry sauce. Cook until sauce thickens, 1-2 minutes. Return the asparagus to the pan, toss to evenly coat and serve with steamed white rice (unless you are going low-carb, in which case, leave out the rice). Serves 4.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons Thai-style chili sauce*
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger
2 10- to 12-ounce New York steaks
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 medium onion, halved, sliced
2 medium red bell peppers, cut into
4 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Whisk chili sauce, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and ginger in medium bowl; add steaks and turn to coat. Let marinate at room temperature 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
  • Heat 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil in large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Scrape most of marinade off steaks and back into bowl. Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper; add to skillet and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn steaks over and transfer skillet to oven. Roast until cooked to desired doneness, about 5 minutes longer for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to cutting board; let rest 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell peppers; sauté until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add green onions and all remaining marinade from steaks. Bring to boil. Stir in cilantro. Cut steaks crosswise in half. Divide steaks among 4 plates. Spoon vegetables over steaks and serve.
  • *A sweet-hot Thai-style condiment used in marinades and sauces; available in the Asian foods section of some supermarkets and at Asian markets.

Tips:

  • Tenderize your steak: Use a meat mallet or fork to tenderize the steak before marinating and cooking. This will help break down the fibers and make the steak more tender.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give your steak its flavor, so make sure to use one that you love. Some popular options include soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: This will help create a nice sear on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Don't overcook the steak: Steak is best cooked to medium-rare or medium, so keep an eye on it while it's cooking and remove it from the heat as soon as it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Slice the steak against the grain: This will help make the steak more tender and easier to chew.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides: Some popular options include rice, noodles, and vegetables.
