Essanaye's Sesame Beef Stir Fry image

Very good stir-fry. A little on the sweet side. Cook in a large wok on medium-high heat. Marinating overnight is good, but not necessary.

Time 8h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

½ cup soy sauce
½ cup white sugar
⅓ cup rice wine vinegar
⅓ cup minced garlic
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 pound round steak, thinly sliced
¼ cup peanut oil
2 cups 1-inch sliced asparagus
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms, or more to taste
1 sweet onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 bunch green onions, chopped into 1-inch pieces
1 cup whole cashews
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Whisk soy sauce, sugar, rice wine vinegar, garlic, and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add beef, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal bag. Marinate beef in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Heat peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir beef and marinade until beef is well-browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in asparagus, mushrooms, onion, bell pepper, and green onions; cook and stir until vegetables begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add cashews and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds; continue cooking until vegetables are tender, 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl; stir into beef stir fry until sauce is thickened, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sesame seeds.

I made this stir-fry with some modifications to make it healthier. I used lean beef, brown rice, and a reduced-sodium soy sauce. The dish was still very flavorful, and I felt good about eating it. I'll definitely be making this again!
