The beef soaks in an irresistible marinade of Southeast Asian spices, then it’s grilled to yield maximum flavor and tender texture. Serve with steamed veggies and brown rice for a nourishing yet filling meal.
Ingredients:
1 c. fish sauce
1 c. brown sugar
3 cloves fresh garlic
1 shallot
1 small Thai chili
2 tbsp. chopped lemongrass
2 tbsp. chopped ginger
1 tsp. fresh cracked black pepper
1/2 c. canola oil
1 lb. flank steak, cut into 1-in. strips
1/2 c. yellow onions, sliced thin
1/2 c. julienne carrots
1 c. broccoli florets
2 tbsp. water
Directions:
Puree all ingredients except for beef together quickly in a blender or food processor so that the marinade comes together but not so much that a puree is attained. Marinate the beef with 1/2 c. marinade and reserve the remaining marinade for future use (will hold in the refrigerator for about a month). Marinate for a minimum of 15 minutes and as long as 1 hour. The longer the marinade the better the flavor and the more tender the beef will be. Cook beef in a film of hot canola oil preferably in a wok on high heat. Sear meat, without moving around too much until a nice dark brown crust is formed. Add in onions, carrots, and broccoli and stir-fry together for a minute. Add water and 2 tbsp. garlic and soy marinade and cook down together until well glazed. Serve with 2 c. cooked brown or jasmine rice.
