Provided by Aida Mollenkamp

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons mirin or sherry
1 teaspoon honey
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 pound flank steak, trimmed and frozen briefly
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 scallions, ends trimmed and thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
12 ounces snow peas

Steps:

  • Whisk the chili-garlic sauce, soy sauce, mirin, honey, sesame oil, and cornstarch together in a small bowl and set aside. Cut the beef lengthwise along the grain into 3 or 4 (2-inch) wide pieces. Slice each piece of beef across the grain into paper thin pieces, about 1/8-inch thick. Pat the beef dry and season well with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over high heat just until smoking. Add the beef and cook, stirring rarely, until well browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove to a plate.
  • Return the skillet to the stove over medium-low heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, half of the scallions, the garlic, and the ginger, and cook until just fragrant and starting to color, about 30 seconds. Stir in the snow peas, and cook, stirring occasionally, until bright green, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the chili-garlic sauce mixture, then remove the pan from the heat, and add the beef and accumulated juices. Toss to coat and transfer to a serving platter. Serve immediately sprinkled with remaining scallions.

STIR-FRIED THAI-STYLE BEEF WITH CHILES AND SHALLOTS



Stir-Fried Thai-Style Beef With Chiles and Shallots image

The original recipe calls for blade steak, but we use flank steak. To cut a flank steak into the proper-sized slices for stir-frying, first cut the steak with the grain into 1 1/2-inch strips, then cut the strips against the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. White pepper lends this stir-fry a unique flavor; black pepper is not a good substitute. I have also used green onions in place of the shallots with good results. We serve this with steamed jasmine rice, but any rice will do. Cooking time does not include marinating time. Adapted from Cooks Illustrated magazine, July 2005. Hope you enjoy!

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

  • Heat 2 teaspoons oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat until smoking; add one-third of beef to skillet in even layer.
  • Cook, without stirring, until well browned, about 2 minutes, then stir and continue cooking until beef is browned around edges and no longer pink in the center, about 30 seconds. Transfer beef to medium bowl.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you save time and stay organized while you're cooking.
  • Use a wok or large skillet: A wok or large skillet will allow you to cook the beef and vegetables quickly and evenly.
  • Use high heat: Stir-fries are cooked over high heat, so make sure your burner is turned up high before you start cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the beef and vegetables will not cook evenly. Cook the beef and vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Stir constantly: Stir-fries require constant stirring to prevent the beef and vegetables from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Add the sauce at the end: The sauce is the last thing that goes into the stir-fry. This will help prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked.

Conclusion:

Chile beef stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of tender beef, crisp vegetables, and flavorful sauce is sure to please everyone at the table.
