Teriyaki Beef Stir Fry For 2 Recipes

TERIYAKI BEEF STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Cut the beef into 1-by-2-by-1/4-inch strips. Put in a bowl and coat with the brown sugar, lime zest, 3 tablespoons of the soy sauce and some black pepper. Set aside for a few minutes while you make the sauce.
• Whisk together the teriyaki sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, rice vinegar, lime juice and remaining 3 tablespoons soy sauce in a bowl.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil. Add the beef and stir-fry until brown around the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the garlic, ginger and jalapeno and cook for 30 seconds. Add the green beans, carrots and bell pepper and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the snow peas. Add the beef with its juices and the sauce and cook for another minute.
• Serve over rice and garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.

TERIYAKI BEEF STIR-FRY OR MARINADE

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together for the marinade.
• Cut the beef into one inch strips and add to the marinade.
• Put in a plastic container or Ziploc bag in refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours, stirring/shaking often.
• To make stirfry, heat sesame oil in a non-stick skillet or wok skillet.
• Add the sesame seeds, garlic and ginger and mix together until seeds are slightly toasted and flavors blended.
• Add sliced Spanish onion, green peppers, 1/4 cup of marinade, mix well and stirfry until onions are slightly translucent.
• Add the beef, mixing well to blend all the flavors and ingredients.
• If you want, you can add some more of the marinade with the beef.
• Stir fry about 5- 7 minutes on medium heat for medium rare or longer for your tastes.
• It went great with a bottle of Cabernet Shiraz Merlot red wine.
• Note: I reduced the measurement for the teriyaki sauce because it was a tad salty when I originally made it.
• If you don't mind the salty flavor, you can add more for your taste.
