Beef With Greenbeans

I was on the hunt for a recipe so that I could make my favorite dish at a local Chinese restaurant. After messing with different recipes and adjusting to my taste I finally found the perfect match!

• Ready In: 2 hrs 15 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• Beef Marinade

• 2  tablespoons dark soy sauce
• 1  tablespoon mirin or 1  tablespoon  chinese rice wine or 1  tablespoon sherry wine
• 1  tablespoon cornstarch
• 1  teaspoon white sugar
• 8  ounces  rib eye or 8  ounces  any marbled tender cut beef

• Sauce for the greenbeans

• 1⁄2 cup oyster sauce
• 3  tablespoons tamari or 3  tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 2  teaspoons sugar
• 2  teaspoons  chinese rice wine or 2  teaspoons sherry wine
• 1⁄2 teaspoon  minced garlic
• 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon  crushed red chile in  oil (found at Asian markets)

• Vegetables

• 1  white onion, thinly sliced
• 4  cups green beans (ends trimmed)
• 1 -2  tablespoon  sesame oil
• 2  tablespoons water

Directions

1. Thinly slice the beef into long thin strips about 1.4 inch thick. Place beef in a bowl with marinade ingredients. Let marinate for 2 hours or more (overnight if wanted). Next, mix your sauce ingredients and set aside. Once beef is done marinating, heat a wok or pan on high, add sesame oil a tbsp at a time to thinly coat the pan. Add in beef and spread over the bottom of the pan. Do not stir until a minute has passed. Then, flip the meat to the other side to allow it to brown. Next, take the beef out of the pan and onto a plate and set aside.
2. Add more oil to the pan, and place the sliced onions and green beans in the pan. Stir fry for 2 minutes on each side, and then add 2 tbsp water to the pan. Turn the pan down to medium and cover for 4 minutes while the vegetables steam.
3. Once the vegetables are crisp tender, add the sauce ingredients and mix. Cook on medium high for an additional minute, then add the beef into the pan and stir. Serve the beef with green beans over white rice and enjoy!
