Ingredients

Steak and Green Bean Stir-Fry

  • 1 pound (450 grams) fresh green beans, trimmed

  • 2 pounds (910 grams) pepper steak

  • 1/3 cup Gefen Cornstarch

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • oil, for frying

  • sesame seeds, for garnish

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce

  • 1/4 cup lime juice

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon Gefen Sesame Oil

  • 1 teaspoon ground mustard

Directions

Prepare the Green Beans

1.

Place the green beans in a pot of well-salted boiling water. Boil for two to three minutes, then drain and place in an ice bath to stop the cooking. Drain and set aside.

Prepare the Sauce

1.

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

Prepare the Steak

1.

Toss pepper steak with cornstarch and salt.

2.

Heat oil in a large, deep frying pan or wok. Fry the meat for two to three minutes per side, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

3.

When done, add all the meat back into the pan along with the sauce. Simmer over medium-low heat for 10–15 minutes, until the meat is softened.

4.

Increase the heat to high and add the green beans. Stir-fry for another minute or two.

5.

Garnish with sesame seeds just before serving.

Notes:

Plan Ahead: This dish is best enjoyed fresh. If need be, you can prepare it one to two days ahead of time and rewarm, loosely covered, until heated through. Note that the green beans will likely lose their crunch while being reheated.

Variation:

You can replace the fresh green beans with frozen ones and simply defrost instead of blanching. Stir-fry with the meat for an additional few minutes, until cooked through. The green beans won’t be crunchy, but the taste will be great.
