How To Make Quick Beef Stir Fry

 

“A recipe has no soul. You, as the cook, must bring soul to the recipe.”

– Thomas Keller

Beef contains an abundance of vitamins and minerals such as iron, B12, niacin, B6, selenium and phosphorus and meat is a complete dietary source of protein.  

Beef Stir Fry

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds skirt steak, cut into 4-inch-long pieces, then cut against the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices

Salt and freshly ground pepper

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

1 serrano chile pepper, seeded and finely chopped

2 teaspoons sugar

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (1 to 2 limes)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, grated

1 bunch of scallions, thinly sliced

6 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced

1/4 pound  snow peas or green beans

1 12-ounce can of baby corn, drained

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

Directions:  

1. Season the steak with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, chile pepper, sugar and lime juice until the sugar is dissolved. Add the beef, toss to coat and set aside.
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil until shimmering, about 1 minute. Add the beef and cook, stirring, until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
3. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside. Allow the liquid in the pan to reduce until thickened, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and scallions and cook 1 minute more. Add the mushrooms and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Add the snow peas, baby corn and bell pepper and continue cooking until all the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Return the beef to the skillet and toss to combine.
