Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, cornstarch, and ground cumin. Whisk until well mixed.
- Add the thinly sliced beef fillet to the bowl, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated with the marinade. Set aside and let it marinate for about 15 minutes.
- While the beef is marinating, wash and slice the celery stalk diagonally into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Grate the ginger and mince the garlic, if not already prepared.
- Heat 2 tsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until the beef is just browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced celery and stir-fry for about 2 minutes.
- Add the grated ginger and minced garlic to the skillet. Continue to stir-fry for another minute until fragrant.
- Sprinkle in the red pepper spice and mix well.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of sake and stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring the beef is cooked through and all flavors are well-mixed.
- Transfer the cumin-scented stir-fried beef with celery to a serving dish.
- Serve hot, alongside steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
Tips:
- Ensure to slice the beef fillet thinly and uniformly for even cooking and a tender texture.
- Marinate the beef with soy sauce and cornstarch for at least 10-15 minutes to enhance flavor and tenderness.
- Stir-fry on high heat to avoid the beef from becoming too tough, and to keep the celery crisp.
- Do not overcook the celery to retain its crunch and bright green color.
- Feel free to adjust the red pepper amount according to your heat preference.
- Using fresh ginger and garlic will impart a more robust flavor compared to dried versions.
This cumin-scented stir-fried beef with celery is a simple yet satisfying dish that can easily become a staple in your home cooking repertoire.
