MONGOLIAN BEEF AND BOK CHOY



Mongolian Beef and Bok Choy image

This recipe was sent to me buy a good friend and I have no idea where he got it. But I tried it once and I've never eaten at a Chinese restaurant since. Let me describe Bok Choy; it's a Chinese plant that really resembles a leek but it's related to a cabbage. You could use cabbage for this if you can't find it and it's still fabulous.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian

Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 cups water, divided
1 cup uncooked white rice
1 pound broccoli florets
1 pound trimmed skirt steak
¼ cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium teriyaki sauce
2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ cup chopped scallions, white parts only
2 (8 ounce) cans sliced water chestnuts, drained
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, or more as needed
⅓ cup chopped scallions, green parts only
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring 2 cups water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • While rice cooks, add 1/2 cup water to a pot and bring to a boil. Add a steamer insert and place broccoli in the pot. Cover and simmer until lightly steamed, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a platter in a single layer, uncovered, so florets remain bright green and do not continue cooking from their own residual heat.
  • Slice the long strip of skirt steak into 2-inch long pieces. Cut those pieces across the grain (for tenderness) and on the bias (for width) into slices that are about 1/4-inch thick. Place beef into a mixing bowl and sprinkle in cornstarch. Stir to coat thoroughly, unfolding any folded slices. Let meat rest for 10 minutes.
  • Whisk together 1/2 cup water, brown sugar, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, Sriracha sauce, paprika, ginger, sesame oil, and garlic powder in a large saucepan. Stir in white parts of scallions and water chestnuts. Heat just to boiling, then reduce to a slow simmer. Stir sauce frequently until reduced and thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • While sauce thickens, heat a large nonstick frying pan until sizzling. Add oil and heat until shimmering. Shake excess cornstarch from beef and place 1/2 of them into the pan without crowding. Cook briefly on both sides until they just start to brown, 3 to 4 minutes; do not cook fully. Transfer to a plate and cook remaining slices, adding oil if needed.
  • Transfer all beef to the simmering sauce and stir to coat. Simmer to finish cooking the beef, 2 to 3 minutes, making sure not to overcook. Stir in broccoli and green parts of scallions. Heat 1 minute longer.
  • Serve immediately over cooked rice. Let diners add crushed red pepper flakes as they wish.

Bok Choy with Beef image

Categories     Beef     Ginger     Marinate     Stir-Fry     Quick & Easy     Sherry     Bok Choy     Sesame     Soy Sauce     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 (main course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (1-pound) piece beef tenderloin
For marinade
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon medium-dry Sherry
1 1/2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 pound baby bok choy
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons medium-dry Sherry
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
Accompaniment: rice

Steps:

  • Cut beef crosswise (across the grain) into 1/4-inch-thick slices, then cut slices into 1/2-inch-wide strips.
  • Make marinade and marinate meat:
  • Stir together marinade ingredients in a medium bowl until sugar is dissolved.
  • Add beef, tossing to coat, and marinate 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Blanch bok choy:
  • Separate bok choy into individual leaves and halve crosswise, keeping stems and leaves separate. Cook stems in a large pot of boiling water 15 seconds, then add leaves and cook 15 seconds more. Drain in a colander, then rinse with cold water to stop cooking and drain well.
  • Fry beef:
  • Stir together soy sauce, Sherry, and vinegar.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 400°F.
  • Add beef to hot oil with tongs (discard marinade) and cook, stirring carefully, until slices separate, about 1 minute. Transfer beef with tongs to a colander and drain.
  • Stir-fry beef and bok choy:
  • Reserve 3 tablespoons oil from skillet and discard remainder. Heat reserved oil in skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then stir-fry garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add beef, soy mixture, and bok choy and stir-fry until sauce is simmering and mixture is just heated through, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.

MONGOLIAN BEEF AND SPRING ONIONS



Mongolian Beef and Spring Onions image

A soy-based Chinese-style beef dish. Best served over soft rice noodles or rice.

Provided by vkarlson

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian     Chinese

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup water
⅔ cup dark brown sugar
1 pound beef flank steak, sliced 1/4 inch thick on the diagonal
¼ cup cornstarch
1 cup vegetable oil for frying
2 bunches green onions, cut in 2-inch lengths

Steps:

  • Heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat, and cook and stir the garlic and ginger until they release their fragrance, about 30 seconds. Pour in the soy sauce, water, and brown sugar. Raise the heat to medium-high, and stir 4 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce boils and slightly thickens. Remove sauce from the heat, and set aside.
  • Place the sliced beef into a bowl, and stir the cornstarch into the beef, coating it thoroughly. Allow the beef and cornstarch to sit until most of the juices from the meat have been absorbed by the cornstarch, about 10 minutes.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-sided skillet or wok to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Shake excess cornstarch from the beef slices, and drop them into the hot oil, a few at a time. Stir briefly, and fry until the edges become crisp and start to brown, about 2 minutes. Remove the beef from the oil with a large slotted spoon, and allow to drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Pour the oil out of the skillet or wok, and return the pan to medium heat. Return the beef slices to the pan, stir briefly, and pour in the reserved sauce. Stir once or twice to combine, and add the green onions. Bring the mixture to a boil, and cook until the onions have softened and turned bright green, about 2 minutes.
