If you are a foodie, you must already know hundreds or thousands of ways to cook a dish. Now that the world is getting smaller owing to the internet, more and more people are getting to know about the diversity in food cultures.
However, it is often noticed that food cultures can overlap to create amazing dishes.
One such amazing technique of combining flavours is stir-frying. This technique is dominantly used for Chinese delicacies but has paved its way into the hearts of people around the world as the technique involves very little oil and enables the cook to make the dish in less time.
You must try cooking beef stir fries once, as it's easy to make, and the sizzling oil will make you crave more. You can make it any night of the week and add variations.
Here are some of the beef stir fries variations that you must try.
Beef stir fries with ancient grains
For those who do not know, ancient grains are not old grains; these are the type of grains that are seeds.
For instance, quinoa, amaranth, sorghum, and chia are known as ancient grains, growing in the same way without mutating for hundreds of years.
The combination of these grains and the savoury flavour of mushroom and beef is scrumptious. The texture of the grains not only fills up your belly without adding any fats, but it compliments the soft texture of the beef quite well.
Japanese beef fried rice
For this recipe, you must either make teriyaki marinade or buy a readymade blend. Teriyaki is a typical Japanese sauce made with soy sauce, mirin, sugar and sake.
The sauce has a sharp flavour and may seem tangy initially, but you can add ginger, honey, or garlic.
This dish is the perfect combination of spicy and sweet flavours blended into one dish, along with beef or beef mince. For added edge to the dish, add a boiled or a half-fry egg on top and some chillies, if you like extra spicy.
Steak and veg stir-fry
This dish is made with beef strips and some veggies in the wok. Along with the steak, you must add onion, capsicum, broccoli, carat and other veggies you like.
You must serve this dish with rice or sticky rice and a dash of green onions. If you want to add a zesty flavour to the dish, consider serving it with lemon wedges.
How to Stir fry?
To start, you need a wok or big skillet and seasoning the wok beforehand is highly recommended.
Herein, you must first put in the aromatics, such as garlic, lemon, ginger, or spring onions, then put in all the other ingredients and put the flame on high.
Once you put all the ingredients and switch on the heat, you must constantly keep stirring the wok to prevent the ingredients from settling at the bottom.
So, these are some stir-fry dishes that you can make with beef, and you must know that there is no end to what you can make since many ingredients work well with beef.
