Categories     Beef

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound flank steak ((sliced into thin strips))
1/4 teaspoon baking soda ((optional))
3 tablespoons water
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
1/2 cup low sodium chicken stock
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar ((or brown sugar))
1 1/2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil ((divided))
1 pound string beans ((ends trimmed and cut in half))
2 cloves garlic ((minced))
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
1 tablespoon cornstarch ((mixed with 3 tablespoons/45 ml water))

Steps:

  • In a bowl, add the beef, baking soda, and water (if you don't want your beef tenderized too much, omit the baking soda). Massage the beef with your hands until all the liquid is absorbed. Mix in the cornstarch, oil, and oyster sauce, and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Combine all the sauce ingredients in a measuring cup and set aside: the chicken stock, sugar, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper.
  • Heat your wok over high heat until smoking. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and sear the beef until browned (this should only take 2 minutes). Turn off the heat, remove the beef from the wok, and set aside. Leave behind any oil in the wok.
  • Set the wok over medium heat and add another tablespoon of oil to the along with the string beans. Sear the string beans on all sides until lightly scorched and wrinkly, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Increase the heat to high, and pour the Shaoxing wine around the perimeter of the wok.
  • Next, add in the sauce mixture you made earlier. Stir the sauce around the sides of the wok to deglaze it (all those nice bits from stir-frying the beef should be absorbed into the sauce). Bring the sauce to a simmer.
  • Stir the cornstarch and water slurry to ensure it's well combined, and drizzle the mixture into sauce while stirring constantly. Allow it to simmer and thicken for 20 seconds. Add the beef back to the wok and stir-fry to combine. Serve with rice!

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 large egg whites
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound boneless beef top round, sliced paper-thin against the grain
8 fresh chives, minced
1/2 cup peanut oil
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 green onions, white and green parts, chopped
1 dried red chile
3/4 pound green beans, halved on the bias
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
2 strips orange peel
1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of the cornstarch until foamy; season with salt and pepper. Add the beef and chives, toss to coat in the marinade and stick it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Pour the peanut oil in a large skillet or wok and place over high heat. When the oil is smoking hot, add 1/2 of the beef. (If you fry all the meat at once the oil temperature will drop and the beef will stew instead of crisp.) Fry for 2 minutes then remove to a paper towel to drain; repeat with the remaining beef. Very carefully drain all but 2 tablespoons of the hot oil into a safe container.
  • Stir-fry the ginger, garlic, green onions, and chile in the remaining oil until they perfume. Add the green beans; season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry the beans for 2 minutes until crisp-tender; remove from the pan. Mix the chicken broth with the remaining tablespoon of cornstarch to make a slurry and add it to the pan. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, peanut butter, and orange peel. Simmer until the sauce is thick, about 5 minutes. Return the beef and green beans to the pan, tossing to coat in the sauce. Garnish with chopped peanuts and serve with rice.

STIR-FRIED GARLIC GREEN BEANS



Stir-Fried Garlic Green Beans image

The green beans should remain crunchy in this dish, which is adapted from Grace Young's recipe in "Stir-Fry to the Sky's Edge."

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound green beans, trimmed
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon soy sauce, low-sodium if desired
1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon peanut oil or canola oil

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil, season with salt and add the green beans. Boil 1 minute, drain and rinse with cold water, then place on a kitchen towel to dry thoroughly. (If vegetables aren't dry when you add them to the hot wok or pan, they will splutter and braise instead of stir-frying.) Place within reach of your wok or pan.
  • Combine the soy sauce and wine or sherry in a small bowl or measuring cup and place within reach of your wok or pan. Place the garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes in another small container near the burner.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan. Add the garlic and ginger, stir-frying for no more than 10 seconds, and then add the green beans. Toss together, then add the soy sauce and sherry and stir-fry for one to two minutes, until the beans are crisp-tender. Remove from the heat and serve.

STIR-FRIED BEEF AND GREENS



Stir-Fried Beef and Greens image

This easy beef stir-fry will satisfy even the pickiest of eaters. It makes for a delicious meal that comes together in no time.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 pounds beef sirloin, cut into 2-inch-long slices about 1/4-inch thick
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
3 stalks celery, sliced 1/2 inch thick diagonally
2 bunches watercress
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Steps:

  • Season 1 1/4 pounds beef sirloin, cut into 2-inch-long slices about 1/4 inch thick, with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon canola oil over medium-high heat. Add beef to skillet; cook, tossing occasionally, until brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger and 3 stalks celery, sliced 1/2 inch thick diagonally; cook until celery is soft, about 4 minutes.
  • Add 2 bunches watercress, trimmed and washed; toss until wilted, about 1 minute. Return beef with any juices to skillet; stir in 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Serve hot over rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Flank steak, skirt steak, or sirloin steak are all good options for stir-fry. These cuts are relatively thin and have a good amount of marbling, which makes them tender and flavorful.
  • Slice the beef against the grain: This will help to make the beef more tender.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and garlic powder will help to add flavor and tenderize the meat.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: This will help to sear the beef and prevent it from sticking.
  • Cook the beef in small batches: This will help to prevent the beef from overcrowding the pan and steaming instead of searing.
  • Add the vegetables last: This will help to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Stir-fry until the beef is cooked through and the vegetables are tender: This should only take a few minutes.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fry is best served immediately after it is cooked.

Conclusion:

Stir-fry beef with string beans is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and healthy stir-fry that your family will love.
