MARION BEEF STIR FRY RECIPES

Steps:

• Slice the steaks against the grain and at on the diagonal to form wide strips that are no more than half a centimetre thick. Whisk together the marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Add the beef and mix well with your hands to make sure each piece of beef is coated. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes. To make the stir-fry sauce, mix the ingredients in a small bowl. Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the garlic and then the onion and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Push the onion and garlic to the sides of the pan and add the beef strips into the centre. Spread the beef out as much as possible and allow to sear for about 2 minutes. Then stir-fry and combine all the ingredients. Before the beef is cooked through, add the capsicum. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds or until the beef is just cooked. Add the stir-fry sauce and stir-fry for another 10 seconds or until everything is well coated. Turn the heat off and toss through the spring onions. *NOTES: Chinese Shaoxing wine is a type of cooking rice wine. It’s available in the Asian aisle of some major supermarkets or from an Asian grocery store. If you’d rather leave it out, simply replace with beef stock.

Steps:

• Combine the steak slices with the marinade ingredients. Mix well. Allow to marinate for only a few minutes. For the stir-fry sauce, rinse the black beans well and finely chop. To the black beans, add the remaining stir-fry sauce ingredients and mix to combine. Set aside for later. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger and dried chillies. Stir-fry for 10 seconds. Then add the beef and spread the strips out in the pan quickly. Allow to sear for a minute or so before stir-frying. Repeat the spreading and stir-frying technique until the beef is almost cooked. Add the broccolini and stir-fry for a minute. Then add the bok choy and the stir-fry sauce and stir-fry until the bok choy is just wilted and the sauce is thick and glossy. Serve with steamed rice. *NOTES: You can replace Chinese Shaoxing wine with a little apple or pineapple juice if you’d rather not use it. Chinese salted black beans are available from Asian grocery stores or online. You can leave them out if unavailable.
