I love stir fry, especially if it’s beef! It’s my favorite kind of meat to use, my least fav is pork because I tend to overcook it and it gets dry. I kinda followed the Food Network recipe from their website and I added the usual stir fry veggies:-) I will make this again,recipe to keep!
Recipe : Beef Stir Fry (adapted from Food Network)
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Chinese Shaoxing rice wine, dry sherry or whitevermouth
- 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain into strips
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 3 to 4 tablespoons peanut oil
- 1 1-inch piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- 5 to 7 dried red chiles, halved
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 8 heads baby bok choy, halved
- Pinch of sugar
- Cooked rice, for serving
Directions
Whisk the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons rice wine in a medium bowl; add the beef, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Set aside for 15 minutes.
Mix the remaining 1 tablespoon rice wine, the oyster sauce and sesame oil in a large bowl; set the bowl near the stove.
Heat a wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat until very hot, about 1 minute. Add 3 tablespoons peanut oil, then the ginger, garlic and chiles; stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the beef and cook, stirring or shaking the skillet occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the beef with a slotted spoon to the sauce mixture and toss.
If the pan is dry, add 1 tablespoon peanut oil, then add the onion and stir-fry until just soft, about 2 minutes. Add the bok choy and sugar; stir-fry until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Return the beef and any juices to the pan and stir to combine. Serve over the rice.
