Categories     Beef

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound flank steak ((450g, sliced into ¼-inch thick pieces))
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon oil
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1½ teaspoons sugar ((or to taste))
½ teaspoon sesame oil
ground white pepper ((to taste))
2 tablespoons vegetable or canola
2 slices ginger
1 clove garlic ((finely minced))
¼ cup shallot ((sliced))
1 scallion ((cut into 2-inch pieces at an angle))
4 to 5 large tomatoes ((cut into wedges))
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
1/2 tablespoon cornstarch ((mixed with 1 tablespoon water))

Steps:

  • Marinate the meat with the cornstarch, the first teaspoon of oil, and salt. Set aside for one hour. Also, combine all the ingredients for the sauce base in a separate bowl. Set aside.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of oil to coat the wok and heat until just smoking. Spread the beef around the wok and sear for 1 minute until 80% done and remove from the wok. Set aside.
  • Heat another tablespoon of oil in the wok over medium heat. Add the ginger slices, and let caramelize for 10 seconds. Turn the heat up to high, and add the minced garlic, shallot, and the white portions of the scallion. Toss for 10 seconds.
  • Add the tomato wedges to the wok. Spread them around the wok in an even layer, and let sear for 15 seconds. Add the Shaoxing wine, and stir-fry the mixture for another 10 seconds. Now push everything to one side of the wok.
  • On the cleared space of the wok, add the sauce base. Stir until bubbling to meld the flavors together.
  • Now it's time to add the beef and any juices in the bowl to the wok. Stir-fry everything on high heat until mixed well and sizzling (about 20 seconds). Be sure not to overcook the tomatoes or they will disintegrate into the sauce!
  • Toss in the remainder of the scallions and add the cornstarch slurry a little at a time until the sauce is thickened to your liking. Let the sauce cook for 15 seconds after adding the last bit of the cornstarch slurry to ensure the starch is cooked. Plate and serve immediately on a big bed of rice!

Beef with Scallions, Tomato, and Ginger image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound flank steak, very cold (See Cook's Note.)
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 bunch scallions, cut into 2-inch long pieces, whites and greens kept separate
2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped (preferably young ginger), (See Cook's Note.)
1 pound ripe tomatoes, cut into large chunks (into 8ths) (about 3 to 4 medium tomatoes)
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, mixed with 1 tablespoon water
Steamed rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Cut the beef against the grain into thin strips about 2 inches long (by 1/4-inch thick). In a large bowl, whisk together the sherry, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and sugar. Add the beef and mix well. Set aside.
  • Preheat a large non-stick skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and heat until very hot. Add the scallion whites and beef mixture to the skillet, arrange it in a single layer, and cook, without stirring, until well-browned on the bottom and still pinkish inside, about 1 minute. (It is key to only partially cook the meat at this stage, since it will be finish cooking later in the sauce.) Transfer to a bowl.
  • Return the skillet to the heat and add the remaining oil. Add the ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute (only a few seconds if using young ginger). Add the scallion greens and tomatoes and cook until slightly softened and saucy, and tomato skin begins to wrinkle, about 1 minute. Return the beef and any collected juice to the skillet, add the hoisin sauce, and cook, stirring, until thick, about 30 seconds more. Season, to taste. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately with rice.

STIR-FRIED BEEF WITH TOMATO AND BASIL



Stir-Fried Beef with Tomato and Basil image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 53m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 ounces flank steak
4 teaspoons cornstarch, divided
5 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt
Dash white pepper
1 small white onion
2 medium tomatoes
12 leaves fresh basil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

Steps:

  • Cut the beef lengthwise into thin 2-inch long strips. Toss the beef with 2 teaspoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, the salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Cut the onion into 1-inch squares. Cut the tomatoes into 8 wedges. Wash the basil and pat dry. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 teaspoons cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water and set aside.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the remaining 4 teaspoons vegetable oil, the beef, garlic, and onion and stir-fry for 1 minute, or until the meat browns. Continue stirring for about 2 minutes over high heat. Stir in the hoisin sauce and cornstarch mixture. As the mixture begins to thicken, after about 1 minute, add the tomatoes and basil, stir for 1 minute. Divide among plates and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your stir-fry. Look for well-marbled beef, ripe tomatoes, and crisp vegetables.
  • Cut your ingredients evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Cut your beef into thin strips and your vegetables into small, bite-sized pieces.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot wok or skillet will help sear the beef and vegetables and prevent them from sticking. If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or sauté pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet: If you overcrowd the wok or skillet, the ingredients will steam instead of stir-frying. Cook the ingredients in batches if necessary.
  • Stir-fry the ingredients quickly: Stir-frying is a quick-cooking method, so it's important to stir the ingredients constantly to prevent them from burning. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to stir the ingredients.
  • Season the stir-fry to taste: Season the stir-fry with soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine, and sesame oil to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as ginger, garlic, or chili peppers, to taste.
  • Serve the stir-fry immediately: Stir-fry is best served immediately after it is cooked. Serve it over rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Beef and tomato stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It is also a healthy meal that is packed with protein, vegetables, and vitamins. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make a delicious and healthy beef and tomato stir-fry at home.
