Juicy beef strips tossed with mushrooms, colorful peppers, and a sweet chili–soy glaze. A quick, high-protein Asian stir-fry perfect for weeknight dinners.
The name itself, Beef with Mushrooms and Peppers, paints a picture of a dish brimming with an array of vibrant colours, textures, and flavours. This culinary treat, with origins nestled in the heart of Asian cuisine, has made its way into the global gastronomic scene with its tantalising blend of sweet, savoury, and spicy tones. So, what's the secret to its irresistibility? Let's unfold the magic together!
To infuse your beef with mouthwatering flavours, combine your beef strips with sesame oil, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, paprika, and an egg. This umami-rich concoction will ensure each bite of your dish has a savoury explosion.
Combine soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, hot sauce, honey, and ground pepper in a separate bowl. This mixture, aromatic and packed with a punch, is set to bring your dish alive.
Coat your marinated beef in cornstarch, and ensure each piece is well-dredged. Next, in a hot pan with oil, fry the beef until it's caramelized to perfection and sports a tempting crispy exterior.
Stir fry the chopped brown mushrooms in the same pan. After about three minutes, toss in the minced garlic and carrot strips. Saute them until the raw aroma dissipates, and they turn slightly tender.
Next, return the crispy beef strips into the pan and mix in your aromatic sauce mixture. Add the strips of red, green, and yellow peppers and the onion wedges. Stir fry this concoction for about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to overcook, as we want to maintain the crunch of the veggies!
Plate up your enticing Beef with Mushrooms and Peppers, sprinkle generously with sesame seeds, and voila! Your delightful dish is ready to be devoured.
