Applecheek Beef Stir-Fry
Applecheek Beef Stir-Fry
Turn your top round london broil or sirloin tip steak into a tender, tasty stir-fry. Prepare the marinade the night before. Stir-fry is a great way to stretch meat, creating a quick, family meal that incorporates meat, vegetables, and grains. Stir-fry cooking goes very quickly, typically taking less than 10 minutes to complete the dish, once you start to cook. Prepare and chop all vegetables prior to heating the pan.
1/4 cup rice wine
1/4 cup teriyaki or oyster sauce
2 Tbsp. soy sauce or tamari
1-2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1/2 Tbsp. Maple syrup.
1 pound top round london broil or sirloin tip steak., cut into thin strips
oil to cook
1 large onion, sliced thin
1 cup carrots, peeled and sliced very thin
1 cup shredded cabbage
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz wild mushrooms, chopped
cooked brown rice, barley or wheat berries
Mix the first 5 ingredients. Pour over steak and marinate overnight, refrigerated, in
a covered stainless steel or glass bowl. Pour off marinade and reserve. Meanwhile, heat a wok or large frying pan. Add 1 Tbsp. oil. Add meat and stir fry until rare to medium-rare (the meat will cook a bit more in the second step). Remove meat from pan, wipe clean, add another tablespoon of oil and stir fry the vegetables. Add the onions and carrots to the pan, saute two minutes, add cabbage and garlic. After two more minutes, add the mushrooms. Cook another few minutes before returning meat and reserved marinade to the pan. Simmer to heat through. Serve with hot, steamed rice, barley or wheat berries.

Napa Cabbage Ramen Salad (is this salad or dessert?)
Napa Cabbage Ramen Salad (is this salad or dessert?)
I have thought of including this one before but somehow, with the ramen noodles (reminding me of bad food college days) crisped in butter and topped with sugar, I thought perhaps I should look for something more wholesome. But each time we have Napa cabbage I can't help but think mmmm ramen noodles crisped in butter and topped with sugar.... And well, we all probably share some weaknesses and this recipe gets rave reviews otherwise, so here it is!
1 head napa cabbage
1 bunch minced green onions
1/3 cup butter
1 (3 ounce) package ramen noodles, broken
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup cider vinegar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons tamari
1. Finely shred the head of cabbage; do not chop. Combine the green onions and cabbage in a large bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. Make the crunchies: Melt the butter in a pot. Mix the ramen noodles, sesame seeds and almonds into the pot with the melted butter. Spoon the mixture onto a baking sheet and bake the crunchies in the preheated 350 degrees F oven, turning often to make sure they do not burn. When they are browned remove them from the oven.
4. Make the dressing: In a small saucepan, heat vinegar, oil, sugar, and soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, let boil for 1 minute. Remove the pan from heat and let cool.
5. Combine dressing, crunchies, and cabbage immediately before serving. Serve right away or the crunchies will get soggy.
Basic Stir Fried Vegetables
Basic Stir Fried Vegetables
Great stuff in the share this week for a stir fry! This recipe is from Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything Vegetarian. There is of course room for endless variations here. You can swap in and out different veggies, add nuts to the final minute of cooking, add dried chiles or chile paste for heat, add tofu or tempeh (even better if cooked and browned first), or up to 1 TB sweetener (honey, maple syrup, etc).
2 TB oil
1 TB minced garlic
1 TB fresh ginger
1/2 cup onions or scallions
1 medium zucchini, cut into slices or chunks
2 cups Napa cabbage
1 large carrot
2 stalks celery
1/2 lb green beans (preferable parboiled and then quickly cooled)
1/4 cup stock or water
2 TB tamari
1 tsp sesame oil (preferably dark)
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the oil , and almost immediately the garlic, ginger, and scallions or onions. Cook stirring for about 15 seconds, then add carrots, celery, snow peas and stock and raise the heat to high.
Cook, stirring constantly, adding liquid (water or stock) if mixture is totally dry, until the vegetables are tender, about 7 minutes. Then add the sesame oil and soy sauce.
