Steak With Four Onions
Life gets in the way. I fear I have sadly neglected my most favorite site while in the process of getting my Rosie’s store open. Bella Grande will be an elegant, upscale store for women to shop and enjoy themselves. Rosie has a lot of good ideas, and they are coming to fruition. Meanwhile, my internet resposibilities suffer…
Neither here nor there, I guess. It all amounts to a great deal of revenue for Allnut Enterprises, our extremely diverse organization. We sat last night with a tot of Captain’s and discussed the rhythm of days. We had worked in the store until 11 PM, and needed to unwind a bit. It amazes me what we have accomplished in a few months!
I found this recipe in the Tribune, and full credit is given to them for it. It is an elegant simple meal that is filled with wonderful flavors and aromas. I made it the other night, and really enjoyed it. I prefer the Oriental taste above all others, and have made my own additions to the dish. So, I used Kikkoman’s soy sauce in this dish. One should of course make the meal as listed in the beginning, to have an idea of what you would prefer to add or subtract. That is the joy of cooking…
Enjoy!
Beef with four onions
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Marinating time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
3/4 pound sirloin steak, sliced paper-thin
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsps. soy sauce
1 piece (1-inch long) ginger root, peeled, minced
3 Tbsps. vegetable oil
2 green onions, cut into 2-inch lengths
1 large yellow onion, sliced
2 Tbsps. minced chives
Tips: A Chinese-style soy sauce may be too intense; if using, reduce the quantity to 1 tablespoon. Any cut of boneless beef works here, especially if you cut the meat into thin strips. You can place meat in the freezer 30 minutes to firm it for easier slicing.
1. Combine the steak, garlic, soy sauce and ginger in a bowl; marinate 20 minutes.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat; stir-fry the beef mixture until the slices are nearly cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove beef to a plate. Add the onions and the green onions to skillet. Stir-fry until onions are soft, about 4 minutes, adding more oil if necessary to prevent sticking.
3. Return the beef to the pan; lower heat to simmer. Simmer 2 minutes so flavors mingle. Garnish with chopped chives. Serve hot.
