Description: This delectable Saucy Beef Stir Fry, adapted from a recipe featured in BBC Good Food magazine, is the perfect solution for a swift yet flavorful meal. Its preparation is a breeze, especially if you take the extra step of marinating the beef ahead of time. A few hours in the marinade, or even overnight, enriches the flavor, making it truly irresistible. For an even quicker preparation, opt for pre-cut beef strips designed for stir-frying.
Ingredients:
- 350 grams of rump roast, sliced into strips
- 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 carrots, peeled and sliced thinly
- 2 cups fresh bean sprouts
- 1 cup spring onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
-
Marinate the Beef: Begin by marinating the beef strips. In a non-metallic bowl, combine the beef with dark soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and a splash of vinegar. Mix well to ensure all the beef is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate, allowing the beef to marinate for at least 20 minutes. For deeper flavor, consider marinating it overnight.
-
Prepare Your Pan: Heat the sesame oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced carrots and bell peppers. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes, allowing them to become slightly tender but still crisp.
-
Cook the Beef: Add the marinated beef to the pan, including all the marinade. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes until the beef is browned and cooked through.
-
Finish the Dish: Toss in the fresh bean sprouts and spring onions. Continue cooking for a final 2 minutes, just until the bean sprouts are heated through and the spring onions are tender.
-
Serve: Serve the stir fry over a bed of cooked rice. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds for an added crunch and extra flavor.
