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.

BEEF STIR FRY WITH GREEN PEPPER, ONION & GRAVY



Beef Stir Fry With Green Pepper, Onion & Gravy image

This was a recipe acquired from a co-worker over 10 years ago and was something she just threw together. After taking notes of what she added to the dish it has become a regular favorite. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. I always serve it with rice and I like mine topping the rice, although my son prefers it on the side. Broccoli is always good with this, along with garlic bread. I normally double the amount of gravy.
