Crispy Honey-Garlic Beef Stir-Fry
Ingredients:
For the stir-fry and serving:
- 1 pound beef flank or skirt steak
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
- 12 ounces green beans
- 4 cloves garlic
- 3 medium scallions
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/3 cup vegetable or canola oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Cooked white rice for serving
For the sauce:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions:
- Cut 1 pound flank or skirt steak crosswise (with the grain) into 2- to 3-inch-wide strips. Cut each strip across the grain into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Place in a medium bowl, add 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and toss to coat.
- Trim the stem end from 12 ounces green beans. Finely chop 4 garlic cloves. Thinly slice 3 medium scallions, keep the white and light green parts separate from the dark green parts; reserve the dark green parts for garnish.
- Place 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine or dry sherry, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl and whisk with a fork until combined.
- Heat a large frying pan (preferably nonstick) or flat-bottomed wok over medium high heat for a few minutes. Meanwhile, line a large plate with paper towels. Add 1/4 cup cornstarch to the beef and toss with fingers, separating the slices, until each piece is evenly coated and the cornstarch is absorbed.
- Add 1/3 cup vegetable or canola oil to the pan and let heat for about 10 seconds, then swirl the pan to coat the bottom. Add half of the beef to the pan with hands, spreading it out into a single layer. Cook undisturbed until browned on the bottom and crisp, about 1 minute. Use a splatter screen if available.
- Using a flat spatula, preferably metal if cooking in a wok or stainless steel skillet, scrape up the beef and flip it, spreading it back into an even layer. Fry until the second side is browned and crisp and the beef is just cooked through, about 1 minute.
- Using the spatula, transfer the beef to the paper towel-lined plate, leaving behind as much of the fat in the pan as possible. Add the remaining beef to the pan and repeat frying. Turn off the heat and transfer the remaining beef to the plate. Pour off the grease in the pan into a heatproof bowl (discard when cool).
- Return the pan to medium high heat. Add the green beans, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Cover and cook over medium high heat until the green beans are bright green in color, about 2 minutes. Uncover and stir-fry, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until the water is evaporated, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the garlic and scallion white and light green parts, and stir-fry until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Add the sauce and return the beef to the pan. Stir-fry until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the beef and green beans, about 30 seconds. Garnish with the reserved scallion greens and serve with white rice.
