Stir-Fried Beef with Peanuts and Green Onion with Jasmine Rice

Thin beef strips lightly coated in starch are seared in a blazing-hot wok, and a slightly sweet soy sauce clings to them in the last second. The roasted peanuts and green onion go in at the end so they stay crisp.

  4. 4
    Heat the wok over high heat until very hot, then add the oil.
    ⚙ Pan-fryingStoveWok
    💡A very hot wok and a few vegetables at a time: crowded vegetables release water and steam instead of charring, and lose their crunch.
  5. 5
    Stir-fry the beef strips in batches, a minute and a half per batch, until golden, and transfer to a plate.
    Stove
  6. 6
    Add the garlic, ginger and chili pepper and the white part of the green onion and stir-fry 30 seconds, until fragrant.
    Stove
    💡The garlic and ginger go in last: in the heat of the wok they burn within seconds.
  7. 7
    Return the beef strips to the wok.
  8. 8
    Pour the sauce into the wok and keep tossing 1 minute, until the sauce thickens and coats everything.
    Stove
  9. 9
    Turn off the heat and add the nuts and the green part of the green onion and stir.
  10. 10
    Serve immediately next to the rice.
