Fragrant Sirloin Stir Fry Food

SPICY BEEF STIR-FRY

Steps:

• 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.

SIZZLING STEAK STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Trim the broccoli, cutting any larger broccoli stems in half lengthways, then place in a heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Add a good pinch of sea salt and leave for 10 minutes, then drain and put to one side. Half-fill a pan with water and bring to the boil.
• Slice the steaks against the grain into finger-sized strips and season with sea salt and black pepper.
• Pound the coriander seeds in a pestle and mortar, or bash with the base of a pan, until fine. Sprinkle over the steak so they stick to it and give it a lovely, fragrant flavour.
• Drop the noodles into the pan of boiling salted water and cook until just tender. Drain, then toss with 2 teaspoons of sesame oil and return to the pan. Cover to keep warm.
• Peel and finely slice the onion and garlic, then peel and finely chop the ginger.
• Heat a splash of olive oil in a wok or large frying pan over a high heat, then add the onions, garlic and ginger. Fry for a couple of minutes, or until the onions have softened slightly.
• Add the seasoned pieces of steak and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, then add the broccoli and fry for a further 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Pour in the soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, toss in the pan until everything is well coated, then serve with the egg noodles.
• Cut the lime into wedges for squeezing over, and finely slice the chilli (deseed if you like), then sprinkle over the top.

FRAGRANT BEEF STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Place cornstarch in small bowl. Gradually add broth, stirring until cornstarch dissolves. Mix in lemon juice and peel.

Using slotted spoon, transfer beef to plate. Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil to skillet. Add vegetables; stir-fry until bright in color and just beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir broth mixture quickly to re-blend; add to skillet. Add beef and any collected juices. Cook until sauce thickens and all vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl. Sprinkle with cilantro.

• Cut carrots into thirds; thinly slice lengthwise.
• Grate 1/4 tsp (1 mL) of the orange rind; place in small bowl.

• In wok or skillet, heat 1 cup (250 mL) oil over high heat; fry half of the beef until lightly browned, 30 to 60 seconds. Using slotted spoon, transfer to sieve set over bowl to drain any remaining oil. Repeat with remaining beef. Fry carrots until edges are browned, 4 to 5 minutes; using slotted spoon, transfer to sieve.
