BEEF WITH RED AND GREEN PEPPERS CHINESE STYLE



Beef With Red and Green Peppers Chinese Style image

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 medium-size sweet red peppers
2 medium-size green peppers
1 pound lean, tender beef, like fillet of beef or flank steak
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon red hot-pepper flakes
1 cup corn or vegetable oil
1 cup coarsely chopped scallions
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 teaspoon sugar or honey
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons fresh or canned chicken broth
Salt to taste, if desired

Steps:

  • Core and remove the seeds from the red and green peppers. Cut peppers into thin strips about 1 1/2 inches long.
  • Slice the meat across the grain into thin strips 1 1/2 to 2 inches long. Place in a bowl and add the cornstarch, soy sauce and pepper flakes and 2 tablespoons of the oil. (The oil keeps the meat from sticking together while cooking.) Blend well and let stand 15 minutes.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a wok or skillet large enough to hold the ingredients. When the oil is very hot add the meat and cook, stirring, about 30 seconds until separated. Drain the meat in a sieve over a bowl to catch the drippings and reserve the oil.
  • Wipe out the wok and return 2 tablespoons of the oil to it. Heat the oil and add the peppers, scallions and garlic. Cook over high heat until crisp and tender, about 1 minute. Add the sugar, wine, chicken broth and salt if desired. Add the beef and cook quickly, stirring, until just heated through. Serve immediately.
