Categories     main-dish

Time 43m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons Chinese Shaoxing rice wine, dry sherry or white vermouth
1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain into strips
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
3 to 4 tablespoons peanut oil
1 1-inch piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, smashed
5 to 7 dried red chiles, halved
1 small onion, thinly sliced
8 heads baby bok choy, halved
Pinch of sugar
Cooked rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons rice wine in a medium bowl; add the beef, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Set aside for 15 minutes.
  • Mix the remaining 1 tablespoon rice wine, the oyster sauce and sesame oil in a large bowl; set the bowl near the stove.
  • Heat a wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat until very hot, about 1 minute. Add 3 tablespoons peanut oil, then the ginger, garlic and chiles; stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the beef and cook, stirring or shaking the skillet occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the beef with a slotted spoon to the sauce mixture and toss.
  • If the pan is dry, add 1 tablespoon peanut oil, then add the onion and stir-fry until just soft, about 2 minutes. Add the bok choy and sugar; stir-fry until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Return the beef and any juices to the pan and stir to combine. Serve over the rice.

SPICY SICHUAN BEEF STIR-FRY



Spicy Sichuan Beef Stir-Fry image

This beef and vegetable stir-fry takes its cues from dry fried Sichuan beef, which calls for browning strips of beef over high heat to ensure juicy, flavorful meat. Hot cherry peppers and spicy black bean sauce give this dish its fire, but you can use sweet black bean sauce for a mellower version. To get closer to the original dish, seek out Sichuan peppercorns.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound flank steak, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced against the grain
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 English cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded and cut into 3/4-inch chunks
2 stalks celery, chopped, plus celery leaves for topping
3 tablespoons Asian black bean sauce
4 pickled hot cherry peppers, chopped, plus 2 tablespoons brine
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon mixed peppercorns
4 cups cooked jasmine rice

Steps:

  • Toss the steak with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon cornstarch in a large bowl. Combine the cucumber and celery in a separate bowl; set aside.
  • Stir the black bean sauce with the remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon cornstarch, the cherry pepper brine and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the cucumber-celery mixture and cook, undisturbed, 1 minute. Toss and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet. Add the steak in a single layer. Cook until browned on the bottom, about 1 minute. Toss and continue cooking, stirring, until just a few pink spots remain, 1 more minute. Add the garlic, ginger and peppercorns and cook, stirring, until the meat is cooked through, 1 to 2 more minutes. Add the black bean sauce mixture and cherry peppers and bring to a boil. Cook until glossy, about 1 minute. Toss in the cucumbers and celery.
  • Serve the stir-fry over rice. Top with celery leaves.

BEEF AND PEPPER STIR-FRY



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.

SPICY GARLIC BEEF STIR FRY



Spicy Garlic Beef Stir Fry image

This stir fry is delicious with tender strips of beef, sweet fresh veggies and a spicy beef sauce. I like to marinate my stir fry meat before cooking to add an extra layer of flavor. I like to use Dale's Liquid Steak Seasoning, but it can be difficult to find. If you can't find this product, substitute 1 1/2 tbs. soy sauce plus 1 tbs. Worcestershire Sauce. It's not the same but close enough. The heat level of this dish is just right for me, but you may adjust the amount of cayenne pepper per your taste.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb sirloin steak, sliced into thin strips (1/4-inch)
2 tablespoons dale's liquid steak seasoning (low sodium)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ginger, ground
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 beef bouillon cube
1/2 cup water, boiling
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups snow peas, trimmed
1 cup red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
1 cup asparagus, sliced into 2-inch lengths
1 garlic clove, minced
1 onion, sliced thin (medium-sized)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
2 cups white rice (I use quick-cooking)

Steps:

  • In a small mixing bowl, dissolve beef bouillon cube in boiling water. Set aside to cool.
  • Place beef and steak seasoning in a plastic resealable bag. Seal bag, releasing as much air as possible, and toss/squeeze with hands until well coated. Marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • Once beef bouillon mixture has cooled, whisk in soy sauce, garlic powder, ginger, cayenne pepper and cornstarch. Set aside.
  • In a wok, heat 1 tbs. oil until glistening. Brown beef strips on both sides, leaving a slight tinge of pink in the middle. Remove to another dish, cover and set aside.
  • Add remaining 1 tbs. oil to wok. Add vegetables and black pepper and cook until crisp-tender. Once vegetables are cooked, return beef to wok and toss to combine.
  • Make a well in the center of the wok and add sauce mixture, stirring constantly until slightly thickened. Then toss all together.
  • Serve immediately over rice.

Tips:

  • Slice the beef thinly against the grain: This will help it cook quickly and evenly.
  • Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes: This will help tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Use a hot wok or frying pan: This will help sear the beef and prevent it from sticking.
  • Stir-fry the beef in small batches: This will help prevent the meat from overcrowding the pan and steaming instead of searing.
  • Add the vegetables towards the end of cooking: This will help them retain their crunch.
  • Use a cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce: This will help create a glossy and flavorful sauce.
  • Serve the beef stir-fry over rice or noodles: This will help soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Spicy 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 satisfying stir-fry that the whole family will enjoy.
