Stir Fry Beef with Bok Choy
This quick, it's easy, and it's as good or better than just about anything you can get at your local Chinese restaurant.
| Beef & Bok Choy | |
| 1 lb | sirloin steak, sliced ⅛” thick and 2” to 3” long |
| 1 tbl | corn starch |
| 2 tbl | low sodium soy sauce |
| 3 tbl | canola oil |
| 1 tbl | ginger, grated |
| 2 cloves | garlic, minced |
| 4 | green onions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated |
| 6 cups | baby bok choy, cleaned and cut into 2” pieces |
| cooked rice | |
| sesame seeds | |
| Sauce | |
| ½ cup | beef broth |
| ¼ cup | hoisin sauce |
| 1 oz | low sodium soy sauce |
| 2 tsp | cornstarch |
| ½ tsp | Sriracha sauce |
| 1 tsp | sesame oil |
Combine the soy sauce and corn starch in a bowl. Pour this mixture over the beef and stir to combine. Set this aside for 20 minutes.
Put all the sauce ingredients in a bowl, stir well, and set it aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the canola oil in a large non-stick skillet. Add half of the beef and brown it. It does not have to be cooked all the way through as you will be cooking it more later. When the beef is browned, take it out of the skillet, put it in a bowl, and set it aside. Repeat this with the remaining beef.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the last tablespoon of the canola oil. Add the ginger, garlic and whites of the green onions and cook for 30 seconds. Add the bok choy and cook for 3 minutes.
Stir the sauce then pour it over the bok choy. Add the beef and bring the sauce to a simmer. As soon as it starts to simmer remove it from the heat.
Serve over cooked rice and garnish with the green parts of the green onions and sesame seeds.
