Beef and spinach stir-fry. Yum! Ingredients:
1/2 lb beef sirloin, sliced in thin strips |
1 (10 ounce) bag baby spinach (or 2 bunches, cleaned and trimmed) |
1 teaspoon vegetable oil |
1/2 teaspoon dark sesame oil |
4 garlic cloves, minced finely |
1 tablespoon nam pla or 1 tablespoon soy sauce |
1/2 teaspoon crushed hot chili flakes (or to taste) |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional) |
Directions:
1. Heat a skillet or wok over medium-high until quite hot. Pour in the oils, then add the garlic. Stir for a few seconds, until the garlic softens slightly and starts to become fragrant.
2. Add the beef strips and stir until the meat loses the redness and is showing only a bit of pink in the center of the strips, 1-2 minutes.
3. Add the spinach, and toss to begin wilting the leaves.
4. Add the nam pla, chiles and sugar. Stir to combine and cook down the spinach, about 2 minutes.
5. If there is more thin sauce than you like, combine the cornstarch with a small amount of water and stir some in to the sauce, allow to boil and thicken. Sometimes I get more or less sauce, depends how much moisture is in the spinach and the meat.
6. Remove from heat.
