Savory Stir-Fried Beef & Veggies with Ginger-Soy Marinade

Stir-Fried Beef with Vegetables

Ingredients:

• 200 grams of beef, thinly sliced (I use sliced beef)
• 1 carrot, cut into small pieces
• 1 stalk of gobo (burdock root), cut diagonally (optional)
• 2 leaves of cabbage, torn into pieces
• 1/2 onion, sliced thinly
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• Black pepper, salt, and sugar to taste

For Marinade:

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (shoyu)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine the beef slices with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger. Mix well and let it marinate for 30 minutes.

2. Sauté Aromatics and Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and marinated beef. Stir-fry until the beef changes color and the onions become translucent.

3. Add Vegetables: Incorporate the carrot pieces and gobo (if using). Pour in the beef broth and add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Season with a pinch of sugar and black pepper. Stir everything together.

4. Simmer: Cover the skillet partially with a lid. Allow the mixture to cook until the liquid has reduced slightly and the vegetables are tender.

5. Add Cabbage: Stir in the torn cabbage leaves and cook until they are slightly wilted. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if necessary.

6. Serve: Once the cabbage has wilted and the flavors have melded together, remove from heat. Serve hot with steamed rice or as a side dish.
