Easy Pot Roast Stir Fry Food

EASY BEEF STIR FRY

Steps:

• Season steak with salt & pepper. Toss with cornstarch and set aside while you prepare the vegetables.
• Place 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan or wok. Cook the beef in 2 small batches over medium high until browned, about 2-3 minutes (beef does not need to be cooked through). Remove from pan and set aside.
• Add vegetables to the pan and cook about until tender crisp, 4-5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside with the beef.
• Combine sauce ingredients except corn starch in a bowl and stir well.
• Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the sauce. Bring to a simmer. Combine cornstarch with 3 tablespoons water (or broth) and add it the sauce a little bit at a time while whisking to reach desired consistency. Let simmer 2 minutes. Add vegetables, beef (and any juices) to the pan and cook until heated through.
• Serve with noodles or over rice.

POT ROAST STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Toss the beef in a bowl with 1/2 teaspoon of the cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
• Place the potatoes and 1 teaspoon salt in a large skillet, and cover with 2 cups water. Bring to a simmer and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set aside for a later use. Rinse the skillet and wipe dry.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the broth, soy sauce, the remaining 1 teaspoon cornstarch and 1/4 teaspoon salt until the cornstarch dissolves.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in the reserved skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms in one layer, season with salt and pepper and do not stir. When the mushrooms are nicely browned on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes, remove to a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon of the oil to the pan and spread out the beef in a single layer. Cook without stirring until browned on one side but not completely cooked through, 1 minute. Transfer to the bowl with the mushrooms. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet, and toss in the carrots and celery. Season with salt and pepper. Stir for about 1 minute, then add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the tomato paste and stir continuously until it turns a shade darker, 30 seconds. Pour in the beef stock mixture, making sure all of the cornstarch gets in the pan. Return the beef, mushrooms and potatoes to the pan. Simmer until the sauce thickens and the flavors are incorporated, 2 minutes. Check for seasoning and adjust if necessary. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and parsley. Serve with the buttered egg noodles.

EASY STIR-FRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, sugar and red pepper flakes if using in a medium bowl until combined. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
