KOREAN BEEF STEAK RICE BOWL

Steps:

• Place sliced beef into a zip-loc bag. Add soy sauce, vegetable oil, sesame oil, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, black pepper, and cornstarch. (The cornstarch makes the beef more tender). Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Press the marinade around the beef to coat.
• Place in the fridge to marinate at least 30 minutes or overnight.
• Bring a pot of hot water to a boil. Turn off the heat, and add the broccoli, carrots, chives, and bean sprouts. Blanch cook for one minute. Drain the vegetables in a colander and run under cold water to cool down. Drain excessive water from the vegetables and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, mix together soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and sesame oil. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Add vegetables in the bowl and let them sit for 10- 15 minutes to absorb the sauce.
• Prepare the potatoes only if stir-frying the beef.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed potatoes and cook for 6-7 minutes. Do not overcook potatoes because you do not want them to be mashed or too soft since they will be added to the stir fry together with the beef steak strips. Drain in a colander and set side for stir-fry.
• You can either stir fry the beef and potatoes together or cook them in the air fryer.
• Add the marinated beef and pre-cooked potatoes into a large skillet and cook over medium high heat until the beef turns brown, about 7 minutes. Stir well to cook evenly. Then, turn heat down to low, cover and let it simmer for 1 minute to allow the flavours to infuse into the potatoes.
• Cook the beef and uncooked potatoes together in the air fryer at 350 F for 13 minutes. Shake the air fryer basket halfway through.
• Transfer the beef and potatoes to a plate.
• In each bowl, add a cup of steamed rice. Top the rice with 1/2 cup stir-fried beef and potatoes mixture, prepared vegetable sides and kimchi. Garnish with green onions and white sesame seeds.

ASIAN STYLE PEPPER STEAK

Steps:

• Make Sauce: In a small bowl whisk all the sauce ingredients together and set aside.
• Marinade: Add the beef, 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp red wine to a bowl, toss everything together and let it sit for 10 minutes to marinade.
• Cook Beef: Add the peanut oil to a wok and heat over high heat. The wok needs to be quite hot before adding the beef to it. Add the beef to the hot wok and cook for about 3 min over high heat until it's lightly charred.
• Cook Veggies: Push the beef to the side of the wok and add the onion and peppers and cook for about 1 minute until the vegetables start to soften a bit. Add the green onions and stir everything together.
• Combine: Pour the sauce over the beef and veggies and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until the sauce thickens a bit from the cornstarch.
• Serve: Serve over cooked rice.
