Hello, fromSeoul!
You wanna make stir-fried dish, but you kind of get scared
because it seems too hard,
or you think you need some kind of secret magic cooking technique?
No, that's not true at all.
With this bad boy, let's break down the stereotype.
Today, we're gonna be making beef and onion stir-fry,
one of the easiest stir-fried dishes of all time.
Seriously, making this dish is too simple,
so it's kind of embarrassing to call it a recipe.
It's almost like pouring some milk on cereal,
so I'm pretty sure you will see no reason
not to make this at home.
The taste?
Oh, my friend, that would be like a taste of heaven.
For this, you will need some beef, garlic, ginger,
green onions, and onion.
That's it.
So simple, right?
But if you make this dish with only these ingredients,
it's gonna be just beef covered in a dark sauce.
But you and I both know our taste tester
wants more than that, right?
She always wants something fancy and pretty,
like a restaurant.
So by any chance, if you have a hungry taste tester,
just like me, bring your leftover carrot
or bell peppers here.
Nothing fancy, but that will make your dish
more beautiful at the end.
All right, let's start prepping our ingredients.
First, beef.
The great thing about this dish
is that you can use any cut of beef.
So I'm gonna be using chuck flap tail
that's been sitting in my fridge.
All right, take 500 grams of beef
and cut it into thin slices.
If you wanna cut down your cooking time even more,
then get yourself some bulgogi cut
from a Korean supermarket.
With that ultra-thin slice of beef,
you'll be able to make dinner in just a few minutes.
That's what I normally do for weeknight dinner.
Now, let's marinate our beef.
Add one tablespoon of soy sauce,
one tablespoon of mirin or any cooking wine,
a quarter teaspoon of white pepper,
one tablespoon of cornstarch,
half a teaspoon of baking soda,
one tablespoon of neutral oil,
and give it a good massage.
The baking soda will tenderize our beef,
so even if you use a cheap cut of beef,
trust me, you will get a good result.
All right, while they're having a great vacation
in the fridge, let's prep our vegetables.
First, take some garlic cloves and finely chop them.
I'm just using three cloves here,
but if you're a garlic lover,
then you can absolutely add as much as you want
and say to your people,
like, this is garlic onion beef stir-fry that I invented.
Trust me, that will work.
Next, grate a small knob of ginger.
We're gonna need about two teaspoons.
Of course, you could just thinly slice it with a knife,
but if you grate it like this, more juice will come out,
so you won't take much time to release its flavor.
Once that's done, grab three or four green onions.
Cut some green parts into long strips
and then just thinly slice the white parts.
We're gonna infuse our oil with this bad boy,
and that's gonna make our dish fantastic.
This time, carrot.
Like I said earlier, it's completely optional,
but you will add a nice pop of color
and make your dish look more appetizing.
Even if that's your ordinary weeknight meal
with this bad boy, it will be so special,
so you will see yourself posting it on your Instagram.
Oh, you will.
And you could totally just thinly slice it,
but if you make grooves in it,
you will get a nice flower shape.
It looks gorgeous, but nothing complicated.
As I told you last week,
even Claire and our fur baby Hodu can do it
if they had plenty of time, so please give this a try.
This little effort will make it look
so much prettier at the end.
Lastly, get yourself some large onions
and just slice them about an inch in thickness.
Once you're done slicing them,
separate the onions so that they're easy to stir-fry.
What? You don't wanna use onions
because you think it's gonna be too strong
or you have a date tonight?
Then you can substitute with other green vegetables.
Broccoli, green beans, asparagus, no problem at all.
But the combination of a stir-fried beef
and onion is just amazing.
So if I were you, I would just brush my teeth
like 200 times before the date,
or just eat it together so both of you can smell each other.
All right, we're almost there.
Before we start cooking, let's make the sauce.
In a small container, add one tablespoon of soy sauce,
two tablespoons of oyster sauce,
half a teaspoon of dark soy sauce,
one tablespoon of sugar,
one tablespoon of mirin or any cooking wine,
one teaspoon of chicken bouillon powder,
five tablespoons of water,
one tablespoon of cornstarch, and give it a good mix.
That's it.
Just basic ingredients for Asian cooking, right?
There's no reason not to try it.
All right, it's cooking time.
Get yourself a wok, add one tablespoon of oil,
and heat it over high heat.
Once it gets nice and hot, add the marinated beef,
spread it out, and let it sear for about one minute.
Here, if you stir it around too quickly,
you're not gonna get a nice sear on them,
so make sure you don't touch it
and give it enough time to get some nice browning.
Normally, at restaurants,
the beef is quickly deep-fried instead of pan-fried,
but don't worry about it.
If you follow these steps,
you won't have to compromise on flavor.
All right, once you've got a good browning on the bottom,
flip and cook the other side for about one to two minutes.
Here, it doesn't need to be cooked through
because it's gonna cook a little more with the sauce.
When the beef is cooked,
remove it from the pan and set it aside.
Now, to the same pan, add one tablespoon of oil
and heat it over high heat.
Once it's heated, drain your onions,
spread them out, and just let them sit
for about one to two minutes.
Once they get nice and charred on the edges,
add your garlic, ginger, white parts of the green onions,
and stir them around for about 30 seconds.
Once they smell real nice, add the beef, carrots,
sauce that we prepared earlier,
and show me your work skills for about one minute.
It's really nothing complicated, right?
Again, there's no reason not to try this at home.
When the sauce has thickened and everything's coated,
turn the heat off,
and then to that, add one teaspoon of toasted sesame oil
and green onions.
Now, all we need to do is just give it a final mix.
All right, looks like it's done.
Let's plate this up.
Put some rice on a serving plate
and top it off with our beautifully cooked
beef and onion stir-fry.
That's it.
Unbelievably simple, right?
You wanna know how it tastes?
All right, let's call our taste tester.
Claire.
Woo!
Because it's called beef and onion stir-fry,
I was expecting there's only beef and onion,
but Aaron didn't let me down.
There's beautiful carrots in there,
and of course, green onions.
Let's give it a try.
The meat is cut into big pieces,
and the onions are chopped up nicely.
Ooh, looks amazing.
Since these two are the stars,
I'll try them together like this.
Ooh!
Cheers!
Ooh.
I think I talk too much because it's so delicious.
I gotta eat again.
Cheers!
Amazing!
Highly recommended.
Today, I showed you how to make beef and onion stir-fry,
the easiest stir-fry dish in the world.
How was it?
It's unbelievably simple and easy, right?
But despite its simplicity,
the taste is truly, truly amazing.
It will almost make you regret the time you had takeout,
so please give it a shot.
You're not only gonna taste
the best beef and onion stir-fry,
that's also gonna help you save a lot of money.
All right, this is it for today,
and I'll see you next time.
