BEEF FUN RECIPES

Steps:

• Cut your flank steak into medium or 1/4 inch slices. Once cut, put the meat into a room-temperature water bath to rinse out the myoglobin.
• Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion into 1/4 inch thickness. Wash the bean sprouts, drain, and set aside. Wash and chop the green onions into 1 inch long pieces. Use all of the green onions and separate the white parts from the green parts.
• In a medium-sized bowl, mix the baking soda, cornstarch, oyster sauce, soy sauce, tamari, white pepper, water, cooking wine, sugar, and mix until everything is incorporated and smooth.
• Drain the meat from the water bath, squeeze out the excess water. Add the meat into the marinade and mix until the meat is fully coated in the marinade and set it aside.
• Prepare the rice noodles by separating the noodles if you see them stuck together.
• In a small bowl, mix tamari, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Once mixed, set it aside.
• Add cooking oil to the marinated beef to seal the juices in the beef.
• Fry the yellow onion and the white parts of the scallions for 20-30 seconds or until fragrant.
• Add the beef and mix. Let everything cook together for 1 more minute. Turn off the heat and add the sesame oil.
• Taste to adjust the flavors and plate once it's to your taste! This is usually served at the center of the table and everyone can take the amount they want.

Steps:

• For the beef and marinade, season steak with salt and pepper
• Thinly slice meat—placing it in the freezer for 10 minutes will firm it up for thin slicing
• In a large zip-top bag, combine the soy sauce, cornstarch, and baking soda, then add meat and marinate the beef 30 to 60 minutes
• Bring water to low rolling boil for noodles
• For the sauce, whisk up Shaoxing, light and dark soy, sesame oil, and sugar
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with oil, 2 turns of the pan, add beef (in two batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan), brown well to crisp, and remove
• Add more neutral oil, 2 turns of the pan, add bok choy and chilies and wilt for 2 to 3 minutes
• Add ginger and garlic, toss 2 minutes, add sauce and return meat to pan, combine with tongs and remove from heat
• Cook noodles 5 minutes or to package directions, add with tongs to meat and vegetables
• Add bean sprouts, half of the scallions and half of the cress, toss and adjust seasonings
• Garnish with the other half of the scallions, cress and toasted sesame seeds
