Noble House Citrus Beef Recipes

CITRUS-MARINATED CHUCK ROAST FOR THE GRILL

Steps:

• Sprinkle roast generously on both sides with salt, pepper and meat tenderizer.
• Mix remaining ingredients.
• Put roast in a large ziplock bag; add marinade; seal and refrigerate at least overnight. (I prefer to go 48 hours.).
• Grill over medium-hot coals, turning several times and basting with reserved marinade frequently.
• Cook approximately 35-40 minutes, until done to your liking.
• Allow roast to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

NOBLE HOUSE KUNG PAO BEEF

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper. Add the cornstarch and mix well. Set aside.
• In another smaller bowl, stir together the ketchup, rice wine, soy sauce, vinegar and chili sauce. Set aside.
• In a small pan over medium heat, toast the Sichuan peppercorns until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and crush 1/2 tablespoon of the peppercorns in a mortar and pestle, or in a plastic bag with a rolling pin. Set aside. Leave the remaining peppercorns whole.
• Heat a wok over high heat and, when wok starts to smoke, add the peanut oil. Add the remaining whole Sichuan peppercorns, dried chiles and fresh chiles and stir-fry for a few seconds.
• Add the beef and stir-fry until the beef is brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the reserved sauce and peanuts and cook until the sauce has reduced slightly and is sticky and has a thicker consistency.
• Add the cilantro and scallions and toss to coat and warm through. Then transfer to a serving plate and garnish with the ground Sichuan peppercorns. Serve immediately.

CITRUS-MARINATED BEEF AND FRUIT KABOBS

Steps:

• 1) Grate peel and squeeze 2 tablespoons juice from orange; reserve juice. Combine orange peel, cilantro, paprika, and ground red pepper, if desired, in small bowl. Cut beef Steak into 1-¼-inch pieces. Place beef and 2-½ tablespoons cilantro mixture in food-safe plastic bag; turn to coat. Place remaining cilantro mixture and fruit in separate food-safe plastic bag; turn to coat. Close bags securely. Marinate beef and fruit in refrigerator 15 minutes to 2 hours. 2) Soak eight 9-inch bamboo skewers in water 10 minutes; drain. Thread beef evenly onto four skewers leaving small space between pieces. Thread fruit onto remaining four separate skewers. 3) Place kabobs on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill beef kabobs, covered, 8 to 10 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, 9 to 11 minutes) for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning occasionally. Grill fruit kabobs 5 to 7 minutes or until softened and beginning to brown, turning once. 4) Season beef with salt, as desired. Drizzle reserved orange juice over fruit kabobs.

NOBLE HOUSE CHINESE SPARERIBS

Steps:

• In a skillet, brown the spare ribs and garlic in oil, mashing the garlic in with a fork as it takes on color (remove garlic before it browns). Add salt, soy sauce, vinegar and water.
• Bring to a boil for 1 minute, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes or until tender. (If it's barbecue weather, simmer 15 minutes, then finish slowly on grill - basting frequently with liquid from pan).
• Stir sauce ingredients together and bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Toss with ribs before serving.
