Very good stir-fry. A little on the sweet side. Cook in a large wok on medium-high heat. Marinating overnight is good, but not necessary. Ingredients:
1/2 cup soy sauce |
1/2 cup white sugar |
1/3 cup rice wine vinegar |
1/3 cup minced garlic |
1 tablespoon sesame seeds |
1 pound round steak, thinly sliced |
1/4 cup peanut oil |
2 cups 1-inch sliced asparagus |
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms, or more to taste |
1 sweet onion, chopped |
1 red bell pepper, sliced |
1 bunch green onions, chopped into 1-inch pieces |
1 cup whole cashews |
1 tablespoon sesame seeds |
1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional) |
1 tablespoon water (optional) |
1 tablespoon sesame seeds |
Directions:
1. Whisk soy sauce, sugar, rice wine vinegar, garlic, and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add beef, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal bag. Marinate beef in the refrigerator overnight.
2. Heat peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir beef and marinade until beef is well-browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in asparagus, mushrooms, onion, bell pepper, and green onions; cook and stir until vegetables begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add cashews and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds; continue cooking until vegetables are tender, 2 to 3 minutes more.
3. Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl; stir into beef stir fry until sauce is thickened, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sesame seeds.
