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.

STEWED PEPPERS WITH TOMATOES, ONIONS AND GARLIC



Stewed Peppers with Tomatoes, Onions and Garlic image

There are variations of this dish throughout the Mediterranean. The Basque piperade, made with slender, slightly piquant peppers called piments d'espelette and stirred into scrambled eggs along with bayonne ham, has some heat; whereas Italian peperonata is sweet through and through. A North African version, chakchouka, is spiced with fiery harissa and a spice blend made with caraway and coriander, cayenne and garlic, and is usually served with eggs poached right on top of the stew. See the variations below.

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 plump garlic cloves, minced

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 14

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Bell peppers of various colors (red, orange, yellow, and green) are ideal for this recipe due to their mild flavor and crunchy texture. However, spicier pepper varieties like jalapeños or habaneros can be used for a more intense heat level.
  • Cut the peppers uniformly: Aim for consistent-sized strips or slices to ensure even cooking and a visually appealing dish.
  • Use fresh thyme: Fresh thyme sprigs infuse a distinctly aromatic flavor to the dish. If fresh thyme is unavailable, dried thyme can be used as a substitute, though it may have a slightly less pronounced flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Stir-frying in batches prevents overcrowding, which can result in steamed rather than stir-fried peppers. Cook the peppers in batches to ensure they have enough space to sear and caramelize properly.
  • Cook over high heat: High heat is essential for stir-frying. It quickly sears the peppers, preventing them from becoming soggy and preserving their vibrant colors and crisp texture.
  • Season to taste: Adjust the salt and pepper seasoning according to personal preference. Taste the peppers during cooking and add more seasoning if desired.

Conclusion:

This stir-fried peppers with thyme recipe offers a delightful balance of flavors and textures. The tender-crisp peppers, infused with the aromatic thyme, garlic, and soy sauce, create a vibrant and flavorful dish. Whether served as a standalone side dish or incorporated into a main course, this recipe is a versatile and delicious addition to any meal. The use of fresh ingredients, simple techniques, and a touch of thyme elevates this dish beyond the ordinary, making it a culinary experience to savor.
