Perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, this recipe brings together the wonderful tastes of soy sauce, sake, and a hint of ginger, making it a tantalizing meal for the whole family.
Instructions:
- In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, sugar, sake, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Add the beef strips to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour for more intense flavor.
- While the beef is marinating, heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the green beans and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, until they start to soften but still retain a bit of their crunch.
- Remove the green beans from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of peanut oil.
- Add the sliced onion and red hot chili peppers. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the peppers are fragrant.
- Increase the heat to high. Add the marinated beef strips to the skillet with the onion and chili mixture. Discard any remaining marinade.
- Stir-fry the beef for about 3-4 minutes, or until it is cooked through and slightly caramelized.
- Add the cooked green beans back into the skillet with the beef mixture.
- Stir everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the green beans to heat through.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a serving platter or individual plates.
- Optionally, garnish with some sesame seeds or chopped green onions for extra flavor and presentation.
- Serve immediately with steamed rice or your favorite side dishes.
Tips:
- For a more intense flavor, marinate the beef fillets in the soy sauce, sake, sugar, garlic, and ginger mixture for a few hours or overnight.
- Use fresh, crisp green beans for the best texture and flavor.
- Adjust the amount of red hot chili peppers to suit your preferred spice level.
- Slice the beef fillets thinly against the grain for tender pieces that cook quickly.
- Make sure the wok or pan is very hot before adding the beef to ensure a nice sear without overcooking.
