Beef with Snow Peas Stir Fry - Pioneer Woman Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by lindaauman

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup soy sauce, low-sodium
6 tablespoons sherry or cooking sherry
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon ginger, peeled and minced fresh
1 1/2 pounds flank steak (or flatiron, or London broil), trimmed of fat and sliced very thin against the grain
3 tablespoons peanut or olive oil

1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup carrots, shredded
Crushed red pepper
Jasmine or long grain rice

  • In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sherry, cornstarch, brown sugar and ginger. Add the beef to a separate bowl and pour one-third of the liquid over the top. Save the rest of the liquid. Toss the beef and set aside. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet (iron is best) over high heat. Add the snow peas and stir for 45 seconds and get as much color on them as possible. Remove to a plate. Add remainder of vegetables; stir and saute about a minute. Remove to plate with snow peas. Allow the skillet to get very hot again. With tongs, add half the meat mixture, leaving most of the marinade still in the bowl. Spread out the meat as you add it to skillet, but do not stir for a good minute.

BEEF AND BROCCOLI STIR FRY RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by á-2641

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 pound lean beef sirloin strip
2 teaspoons oil
1 cup reduced sodium chicken broth, divided
5 cups broccoli florets
1 teaspoon fresh ginger root, minced
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • Combine 2 tablespoons cornstarch and salt. Add beef and toss to coat. Heat oil in large deep skillet over medium heat. Add beef, stir fry until light browned and cooked through - about 4 minutes. Transfer to bowl. Add 1/2 cup broth to pan. Stir to loosen any bits of food on bottom of pan. Add broccoli, cover and cook, tossing occasionally and sprinkling with tablespoon of water if needed, until broccoli is almost crisp tender, about 3 minutes. Uncover pan and add ginger, garlic and red pepper flakes. Stir fry until fragrant - about 1 minute.

Simmer slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Return beef and accumulated juices to pan, toss to coat.

Tips for Making the Best Beef Stir-Fry:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Start with fresh, tender beef and crisp vegetables. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your stir-fry will be.
  • Prepare your ingredients in advance: Cut your beef and vegetables into uniform pieces and marinate the beef if desired. This will help ensure that everything cooks evenly.
  • Use a hot pan: A well-seasoned wok or large skillet is ideal for stir-frying. Heat the pan over high heat until it is very hot before adding the oil.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the beef and vegetables in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help prevent the food from steaming instead of stir-frying.
  • Stir-fry quickly: Keep the heat high and stir-fry the food constantly to prevent it from burning. The beef should be cooked through but still slightly pink in the center, and the vegetables should be crisp-tender.
  • Season to taste: Add your favorite stir-fry sauce or seasonings towards the end of cooking. Soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and ginger-garlic paste are all popular choices.

Conclusion:

Beef stir-fry is a quick and easy meal that is packed with flavor. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and healthy stir-fry that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, try one of these beef stir-fry recipes.
