asian essentials: beef & mushroom noodle bowl

How To Make asian essentials: beef & mushroom noodle bowl

• 
  Step 1
  PREP/PREPARE
• 
  Step 2
  Some of the beef cuts that are good for stir frying are: sirloin, tri-tip, rib eye, tenderloin, blade, and chuck.
• 
  Step 3
  For this recipe, I selected a variety of mushrooms, consisting of shitake, cremini, and oyster. However, you can choose any mushrooms you desire.
• 
  Step 4
  Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
• 
  Step 5
  Thinly slice the beef, toss with the tablespoon of olive and sesame oil, and place in the fridge, for about an hour.
• 
  Step 6
  Whisk the arrowroot powder into the chicken stock, and reserve.
• 
  Step 7
  Place a pan, or wok, over high heat, and add the 2 tablespoons of grapeseed oil. Then, add the beef, and sauté, until brown and crispy, about 3 – 4 minutes.
• 
  Step 8
  Chef’s Note: If you have a small pan, you might have to do this in two batches.
• 
  Step 9
  Remove the beef from the pan, and reserve.
• 
  Step 10
  Chef’s Tip: To keep the beef warm, while you are finishing up the recipe, heat up your oven to its lowest setting, place the cooked beef in a small, covered dish, and keep in the preheated oven until needed.
• 
  Step 11
  Return the pan to the stovetop, and reduce the heat to medium.
• 
  Step 12
  Chef’s Note: See all those brown bits on the bottom of the pan? Those are called fonds, and when dissolved back into the sauce they help to give it an amazing flavor. So, as you are adding the other ingredients, use a spatula, or wooden spoon to scrape up those bits.
• 
  Step 13
  Add the ginger, garlic, and scallions, then sauté for 1 minute.
• 
  Step 14
  Add the mushrooms, and continue to sauté, until softened, about 2 – 4 minutes.
• 
  Step 15
  Add the tamari sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, and coconut sugar, and stir until combined, about 1 minutes.
• 
  Step 16
  Add the reserved chicken stock/arrowroot powder to the pan.
• 
  Step 17
  Bring up to the simmer,
• 
  Step 18
  Cook until the sauce begins to thicken, and turns a nice golden brown, about 7 – 9 minutes.
• 
  Step 19
  PLATE/PRESENT
• 
  Step 20
  Place some noodles into a bowl (you could also serve it with rice), place the beef on top, and then add a few spoons of that yummy mushroom sauce. Garnish with some toasted sesame seeds, or green onions, if using. Enjoy.
