SPICY SICHUAN BEEF STIR-FRY



Spicy Sichuan Beef Stir-Fry image

This beef and vegetable stir-fry takes its cues from dry fried Sichuan beef, which calls for browning strips of beef over high heat to ensure juicy, flavorful meat. Hot cherry peppers and spicy black bean sauce give this dish its fire, but you can use sweet black bean sauce for a mellower version. To get closer to the original dish, seek out Sichuan peppercorns.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound flank steak, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced against the grain
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 English cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded and cut into 3/4-inch chunks
2 stalks celery, chopped, plus celery leaves for topping
3 tablespoons Asian black bean sauce
4 pickled hot cherry peppers, chopped, plus 2 tablespoons brine
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon mixed peppercorns
4 cups cooked jasmine rice

Steps:

  • Toss the steak with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon cornstarch in a large bowl. Combine the cucumber and celery in a separate bowl; set aside.

Cook until glossy, about 1 minute. Toss in the cucumbers and celery.

Stir-fry chilli beef with sweet potato jackets image

Enjoy this energising supper for a post-exercise pick-me-up. It supplies iron, vitamin C and fibre, plus an impressive five of your 5-a-day

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Supper

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 sweet potatoes (about 175g each)
1 thick, lean rump sirloin steak , trimmed of all fat (about 200g after trimming), thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves , finely grated
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cold-pressed rapeseed oil
1 green pepper , halved, deseeded and sliced
1 tsp cumin seeds
2 tomatoes , cut into wedges
400g can black beans , drained and rinsed
1 tsp vegetable bouillon powder
handful of coriander , chopped, plus extra whole leaves to serve
1 small avocado , stoned, peeled, halved and chopped or mashed
1 lime , cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and bake the sweet potatoes for 45 mins, or until tender. Meanwhile, mix the steak with half each of the garlic and paprika.
  • Heat the oil in a non-stick wok and stir-fry the pepper for 1 min until starting to soften. Add the remaining garlic and the cumin seeds, and cook for a few minutes more. Tip in the tomatoes and the remaining paprika, and cook for 10 mins. Add the beans and bouillon, and stir-fry until heated through. Stir in the coriander. Halve the baked potatoes almost all the way through, and put onto plates. Top with the avocado and squeeze over some of the lime wedges, and divide the beans between the plates.
  • Return the pan to the heat and cook the steak for 5 mins. You shouldn't need to add any oil if you have a good non-stick pan, and if you don't wash the pan, you'll get some nice charred bits on the steak. The centre of the steak strips should be pink and tender. Pile onto the potatoes with a few coriander leaves, and serve with the remaining lime wedges for squeezing over.

SPICY BEEF STIR-FRY WITH BASIL



Spicy Beef Stir-Fry With Basil image

This simple, delicious recipe for a spicy beef stir-fry comes from Leela Punyaratabandhu, a cookbook author who adapted it from Soei, a family-run restaurant in Bangkok. Using thinly sliced beef tenderloin means the dish is ready in just minutes, and you can adjust the heat to taste by reducing or increasing the number of fresh bird's-eye chiles. Made with fresh holy-basil leaves, the classic Thai dish is known as phat ka-phrao. If you can't find holy basil at a Thai market, Indian market or health food store, you could swap in more widely available Thai sweet basil (pictured), and make a dish of phat bai hora-pha. The dish could be one part of a larger meal or stand alone with some jasmine rice and a fried egg.

Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon Thai thin soy sauce, or light soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 packed teaspoon grated palm sugar, or light brown sugar
8 large cloves garlic
4 to 8 fresh bird's-eye chiles
1 1/2 tablespoons lard, or neutral oil
1 1/2 pounds beef tenderloin, sliced against the grain into 2-inch-long, 1/4-inch thick strips
3 to 4 makrut lime leaves, lightly bruised and torn into pieces (optional)
1 1/2 cups loosely packed fresh holy-basil leaves or sweet Thai basil leaves, sweet Thai basil leaves or other fragrant basil

Steps:

  • If you're making rice with this dish, get it started. In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, chicken stock and sugar. In a mortar or small food processor, grind together the garlic and chiles into a coarse paste.
  • Heat the lard in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic-chile paste, and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Before the garlic starts to brown, add the beef, and stir-fry to separate the pieces and coat with fat. Add the liquid mixture, making sure not to leave any behind in the bowl, and cook until the beef is only barely pink, about 2 minutes. Add the lime leaves, and continue to cook until no pink remains on the beef, about 1 minute. Add the basil leaves, and stir until they are just starting to wilt, then remove from heat and serve with rice. (You can fish out the large pieces of makrut leaves before serving or put them aside as you eat.)

Tips:

- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and make the cooking process go more smoothly. - Choose the Right Beef: For this recipe, you'll want to use a tender cut of beef that will cook quickly. Flank steak, skirt steak, or tenderloin are all good options. - Marinade the Beef: Marinating the beef in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and spices helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. - Slice the Beef Thinly: Thinly sliced beef will cook quickly and evenly in the stir-fry. Aim for slices that are about 1/8-inch thick. - Use a Hot Wok or Skillet: A hot wok or skillet is essential for getting a good sear on the beef and vegetables. If your pan is not hot enough, the food will steam instead of stir-frying. - Stir-Fry in Batches: Don't overcrowd the pan when you're stir-frying. Cook the beef in batches, removing it from the pan once it's cooked. This will help to prevent the beef from steaming and ensure that it gets evenly browned. - Add the Vegetables Last: Add the vegetables to the pan towards the end of the cooking process. This will help them to retain their crispness and prevent them from overcooking. - Season to Taste: Once the stir-fry is cooked, season it to taste with additional soy sauce, salt, or pepper.

Conclusion:

- This Spicy Beef and Sweet Potato Stir-Fry is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. The beef is tender and flavorful, the vegetables are crisp and colorful, and the sauce is flavorful and slightly spicy. - If you're looking for a quick and easy stir-fry recipe that's packed with flavor, this recipe is definitely worth a try. With just a few simple ingredients and some basic cooking skills, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
