Beef Sate With Spicy Szechwan Sauce Recipes

BEEF SATE WITH SPICY SZECHUAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Soak the bamboo or wooden skewers in cold water and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Cut the steak into 24 (3 by 1-inch) strips, each weighing about 1/2-ounce. Stick a skewer into each strip lengthwise and arrange on a large platter or baking pan. Refrigerate until needed.
• Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients and pour over the meat, turning to coat all sides. Let marinate at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
• Preheat the grill or broiler while the steak is marinating.
• Prepare the sauce: In a small skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add the garlic and green onion and saute over medium-high heat until soft, about 2 minutes. Pour in the hoisin sauce, soy sauce and chili pepper flakes and cook 1 or 2 minutes longer. Strain into a clean pan and whisk in the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Keep warm.
• Arrange the steak skewers on the grill or under the broiler,* being careful that the bare ends of the skewers are not directly over (or under) the flame. Grill until medium rare, about 30 to 40 seconds each side.
• Pour the sauce into a small bowl and set in the center of a large serving platter. Arrange the skewers around the bowl and serve immediately.
• *Bring your broiler tray directly under the flame for best results.

SZECHWAN CRISPY BEEF

Steps:

• Trim away fat from steak. Slice across the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices. Slice steak again across the grain for matchstick pieces of steak. Set aside.
• Add 2 tablespoons of oil to a hot wok or large skillet over high heat. Add carrots and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Remove carrots and set aside.
• Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the wok or skillet. Once hot, add beef strips and stir-fry for 8 to 10 minutes, or until beef is dark and crispy. Be careful as beef will splatter for the first 3 to 4 minutes while it loses its moisture.
• Remove beef from skillet and drain out all oil, except for 1 tablespoon, if desired. Add scallions and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add carrots and beef back to skillet. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds. Add stir-fry sauce, sherry, and chili-garlic sauce. Stir-fry for another 30 to 60 seconds. Garnish with green scallions and serve hot.
