Best Chop Chop Beef Stir Fry Recipes

BEEF & BOK CHOY STIR FRY

Steps:

• Combine beef, cornstarch, and soy sauce in a bowl. Set aside to marinate 20 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
• Combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil to medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add half of the beef and cook just until browned, do not overcook. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Repeat with remaining beef, adding more oil if needed.
• Reduce heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon oil to the same pan. Add ginger, garlic, and the whites of the onions. Cook just until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add the whites of the bok choy and cook for 2-3 minutes.
• Stir in the sauce, bok choy greens, and beef. Cook over medium until hot and bubbly.
• Remove from heat and garnish with green onion tops and serve over rice.

STIR-FRIED BEEF AND BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Prepare the beef:
• In a small bowl stir together the soy sauce, the sugar, and the salt, add the beef, and let it marinate for 20 minutes.
• Make the sauce while the beef is marinating:
• In a small bowl dissolve the cornstarch in the soy sauce and stir in the Sherry, the broth, the sugar, and the sesame oil.
• Heat a wok or large heavy skillet over high heat until it is hot, add 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil, and heat it until it just begins to smoke. Stir-fry the beef in the oil in batches for 1 minute, or until it is no longer pink, and transfer it as it is cooked with a slotted spoon to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the wok, heat it until it is hot but not smoking, and in the oil stir-fry the gingerroot, the garlic, and the chili for 30 seconds, or until the mixture is fragrant. Add the broccoli and stir-fry the mixture for 1 minute. Add 1/3 cup water and steam the broccoli, covered, for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until it is crisp-tender. Stir the sauce, add it to the wok with the beef and any juices that have accumulated on the plate, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened and the beef is heated through. Transfer the mixture to a heated platter and serve it with the rice.
