HOW TO SIMMER BEEF RECIPES

Steps:

• Combine beef stew meat and flour in a resealable plastic bag; seal bag and shake to coat beef.
• Melt butter with olive oil in a large pot over high heat; add beef and season with seasoned salt. Cook and stir beef until seared on all sides 5 to 7 minutes. Stir onion into the beef; cook and stir until the onion is browned, about 5 minutes more.
• Pour enough of the beef broth into the pot to cover the bottom; bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add remainder of the beef broth; bring to a simmer before adding carrots, potatoes, celery, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, basil, paprika, and garlic powder.
• Bring liquid to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cook stew at a simmer until the meat and vegetables are very tender, 3 to 4 hours.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, 2 minutes. Add soy sauce, water and brown sugar and stir until dissolved. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half, 10 to 12 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, heat remaining 1/4 cup vegetable oil. In a large bowl, toss flank steak with cornstarch until fully coated. Add steak to skillet and sear until crispy, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain fat. Add sauce and green onion quarters to skillet and toss until combined, then simmer a few minutes more. Serve steak in lettuce cups and garnish with green onions.
