Beef With Scallions Recipes

BEEF AND SCALLION STIR-FRY

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup water, hoisin sauce, vinegar, cornstarch, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes; set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat. In two batches, cook steak until lightly browned, turning once, about 2 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate.
• Add remaining teaspoon oil to pan along with garlic and whites of scallions. Cook, tossing often, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk hoisin mixture to combine; add to pan along with scallion greens.
• Return meat to pan; cook, tossing to coat steak with sauce, 1 minute. Remove from heat. Serve immediately, over rice and sprinkled with red-pepper flakes, if desired.

BEEF WITH SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Cut the flank steak crosswise in half, and place each half on a flat surface. Holding a knife or cleaver parallel to the center of the meat, cut the steak in half. Stack the halves and cut the meat crosswise into very thin shreds.
• Put the meat into a mixing bowl. Blend the soy sauce, wine and sugar, and pour the mixture over the meat. Blend with the fingers.
• Heat half of the oil in a wok or skillet, and when it is very hot, add the beef mixture, garlic, ginger and salt. Cook about 30 seconds over very high heat, stirring constantly. Spoon the mixture into a serving dish.
• Heat the remaining oil in a wok or skillet, and add the scallions. Cook, stirring rapidly, about 20 seconds. Scatter the scallions over the beef and serve.

TANGERINE BEEF WITH SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Pierce the steak with a fork several times on each side. Remove a 2-inch strip of zest from the tangerine, halve the fruit and squeeze the juice into a resealable plastic bag. Add the zest, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, ginger, garlic, pepper flakes and 1/4 cup water to the bag and mix well. Add the meat, seal the bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat the broiler with a broiler pan in place. Remove the steak from the bag and reserve the marinade. Pat the meat dry and place on the preheated broiler pan. Cook, without turning, until the meat is golden brown and a thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 130 for medium-rare, about 10 minutes. Let rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing; reserve the drippings.
• Meanwhile, boil the marinade in a small pot over medium-high heat until slightly thickened. Stir in the orange preserves and the drippings from the meat. Slice the meat against the grain and top with scallions. Serve with the sauce.
