The sauce can't be beat for flavor, and like any stir-fry, the recipe works best if you have all of the ingredients/mixtures ready before you begin to cook. I like to serve this beef dish with rice and fresh,lightly steamed or stir-fried green beans or broccoli. Ingredients:
1 lb beef flank steak or 1 lb beef top sirloin steak, very thinly sliced across-the-grain |
3 tablespoons peanut oil, divided |
1 tablespoon soy sauce |
2 tablespoons dry sherry |
3 tablespoons water |
2 green onions, thinly sliced |
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
1 tablespoon asian chili paste with garlic (or to taste) |
2 tablespoons sugar |
2 tablespoons dry sherry |
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil |
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl and stir in the sliced beef; let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
2. Mix Hunan Sauce ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.
3. After 20 minutes, drain the beef well, saving the marinade, and mix marinade into the Hunan Sauce bowl.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil in a skillet at medium-high heat.
5. Stir fry the beef until it is cooked but still a bit rare.
6. Remove beef onto a plate.
7. Add remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil to the skillet and stir-fry the Hunan Sauce mixture until fragrant.
8. Stir in the beef, heat through and serve.
