Asian Fire Beef Recipes

ASIAN FIRE BEEF

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, and red onion.
• Stir in the black pepper, red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, leeks and carrot.
• Mix in the meat by hand to ensure even coating.
• Cover, and let marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Brush the bottom half of a wok with cooking oil, and heat over med-high heat.
• Put in all of the meat and marinade at once, and cook stirring constantly. The meat will be cooked after just a few minutes.
• Remove from heat, and serve with rice or noodles.
• For Korean style fire meat, roll the meat mixture up in a leaf of red lettuce.

ASIAN BRAISED BEEF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Mix together the flour, five-spice powder and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Toss the beef in the flour mixture and set aside.
• Heat the butter and olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Working in 2 batches, sear the meat on all sides until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Remove the meat to a plate and set aside.
• To the pot, add the ginger, chili paste, garlic and scallion whites. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Deglaze with the sherry, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the broth, soy sauce, honey, star anise and bay leaves and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the seared beef, cover the pot, transfer to the oven and cook until the meat is falling apart, about 2 hours.
• Serve over rice, garnished with the reserved scallion greens.
