STEAK STIR-FRY



Steak Stir-Fry image

No one would guess this elegant entree is a snap to prepare at the last minute. To save even more prep time, use frozen mixed veggies instead of fresh. Sometimes I substitute chicken, chicken bouillon and curry for the beef, beef bouillon and ginger. -Janis Plourde, Smooth Rock Falls, Ontario

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.

Time 40m

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

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced

SPICY GARLIC BEEF STIR FRY



Spicy Garlic Beef Stir Fry image

This stir fry is delicious with tender strips of beef, sweet fresh veggies and a spicy beef sauce. I like to marinate my stir fry meat before cooking to add an extra layer of flavor. I like to use Dale's Liquid Steak Seasoning, but it can be difficult to find. If you can't find this product, substitute 1 1/2 tbs. soy sauce plus 1 tbs. Worcestershire Sauce. It's not the same but close enough. The heat level of this dish is just right for me, but you may adjust the amount of cayenne pepper per your taste.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb sirloin steak, sliced into thin strips (1/4-inch)

1 cup asparagus, sliced into 2-inch lengths
1 garlic clove, minced
1 onion, sliced thin (medium-sized)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
2 cups white rice (I use quick-cooking)

Steps:

  • In a small mixing bowl, dissolve beef bouillon cube in boiling water. Set aside to cool.
  • Place beef and steak seasoning in a plastic resealable bag. Seal bag, releasing as much air as possible, and toss/squeeze with hands until well coated. Marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • Once beef bouillon mixture has cooled, whisk in soy sauce, garlic powder, ginger, cayenne pepper and cornstarch. Set aside.
  • In a wok, heat 1 tbs. oil until glistening. Brown beef strips on both sides, leaving a slight tinge of pink in the middle. Remove to another dish, cover and set aside.
  • Add remaining 1 tbs. oil to wok. Add vegetables and black pepper and cook until crisp-tender. Once vegetables are cooked, return beef to wok and toss to combine.
  • Make a well in the center of the wok and add sauce mixture, stirring constantly until slightly thickened. Then toss all together.
  • Serve immediately over rice.

HOT & SPICY SZECHWAN BEEF STIR FRY



Hot & Spicy Szechwan Beef Stir Fry image

This used to call for a cheap cut of flank steak but flank steak has been 'discovered'. It's not worth $6-7 a pound. It is probably my fault, I spent years singing the glories of the stuff and people finally believed me. That is the way of it all. If you can find it use soy sauce made with water, soy beans, and salt and nothing else. It is much richer and better. Portions and cooking time are a guess.

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.)
