Best Shaken Beef Recipes

SHAKEN BEEF

Steps:

• For the shaken beef: Place the beef in a bowl with the garlic, onion, liquid seasoning, sugar, fish sauce and pepper and mix well. Heat a large heavy-bottom pan over medium-high until very hot. Add the butter or oil. Add the beef cubes shaking the pan to coat the meat with the butter or oil. Cook, turning the meat with tongs until browned and seared on the outside but still pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes (or cook to desired doneness). Add the Cognac and toss the beef before removing from the heat.
• For the watercress salad: Lightly roast the shallots in a dry saute pan over medium heat until light browned and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Whisk together the rice vinegar, garlic, fish sauce and honey in a bowl. Lightly toss the watercress and shallots with the dressing. Season with pepper.
• Arrange the sliced tomatoes on plates to make a decorative base. Arrange the watercress around or on top of the tomato slices. Place the beef in a mound on top of the tomatoes and watercress and serve with the rice.

SHAKEN BEEF

Steps:

• 1. Cut the ribeye steak in to bite sized cubes, about 1 inch. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of the canola oil and the cornstarch, salt, pepper and oyster sauce. Add the beef and toss to make sure all the pieces are well-coated. Set aside for 30 minutes, covered.
• 2. Meanwhile, combine the wine, Maggi and Worcestershire sauces, and sugar. Set aside, covered.
• 3. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a wok over high heat until very hot. Then reduce the heat to medium and add HALF the steak. Sear for 3 minutes on one side, then stir and sear for an additional minute for medium rare. Add half the minced garlic and shake the pan for half a minute. Then add 2 tablespoons of the wine sauce and cook for an additional 2 minutes, shaking the pan the whole time. Scoop the meat into a serving dish. Repeat with the remaining steak. You will NOT use all the garlic sauce. Scoop the 2nd half into the serving dish. Don't attempt to cook all the meat at once, as it will overcrowd the pan and you'll not have good results!
• 4. In the same wok, return to medium heat and add the sliced onion. Saute for a few minutes until the onion is soft. Spoon over the meat. Serve hot. This is nice served with some ripe tomato wedges.
