Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1-oz. package of onion soup mix
2 lb lean stew meat
1 10 3/4-oz. can cream mushroom soup
1 c ginger ale

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. In a greased casserole dish, sprinkle onion soup mix over beef.
  • 3. Spoon mushroom soup over meat; add ginger ale. DO NOT STIR.
  • 4. Bake covered at 350 degrees for 2 hours. DON'T PEEK. Serve over noodles or rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Flank steak, skirt steak, or tenderloin are all good options for ginger beef. Make sure the beef is sliced thinly against the grain.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and other seasonings will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot wok or skillet will help to sear the beef quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the beef, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the beef to steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the beef in batches: If you're cooking a large amount of beef, cook it in batches. This will help to prevent the beef from overcrowding the pan and steaming.
  • Add the vegetables towards the end of cooking: The vegetables should be added towards the end of cooking so that they don't overcook.
  • Serve the ginger beef immediately: Ginger beef is best served immediately after it is cooked.

Conclusion:

Ginger beef is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your ginger beef turns out perfectly every time.
