I am not always a big fan of vegetables, especially green ones. One of the ways I work them into my diet is by cooking Asian food. Not only is there an endless variety of spices in these dishes, but they always have a great variety of veggies. Plus little fat is used to cook the dishes making them a healthy choice. I served this dish over sprouted brown Basmati rice.
I made a couple of changes this recipe that I found in a Chinese cookbook. I added more vegetables and beef bone broth. I also substituted peanut oil which traditional in this type of cooking with grape seed oil.
Beef & Beans
Marinade
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 tablespoons dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons grape seed oil
1 lb steak cut into one inch pieces
Mix together the marinade ingredients. Place the steak in a shallow glass dish and pour the marinade over the meat. Mix to coat the meat. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes
Sauce
2 tablespoons grape seed oil
3 cloves garlic crushed
1 small onion sliced
8 ounces green beans
3 stalks of celery chopped
1 cup of sliced button mushrooms
1 can of bamboo shoots drained.
4 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons Chinese rice wine
1 cup beef bone broth
4 tablespoons cornstarch
8 tablespoons water.
1/2 cup of roughly chopped almonds
Add the oil to a wok and heat on high. Add the garlic, onion, mushrooms and beef. Stir fry for 3 to 4 minutes or until the meat is cooked. Mix the soy sauce, wine, broth, cornstarch and water. Mix well to combine. Stir into the wok and cook until the mixture thickens. Add the celery, beans and bamboo shoots. Heat for just 2-3 minutes until the beans are tender crisp. Serve over hot rice. Top with the almonds.
Serves 6
