Asian Ground Beef Stir Fry - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 lb ground beef (preferably 80% lean)
1 medium russet potato, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 -4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon sesame oil
salt
ground pepper
olive oil
1 bunch cilantro, small bunch, roughly chopped
Preparation
-
Heat skillet to medium heat and add about 3 tbsp olive oil.
Add the onions and a little salt and pepper.
Cook a few minutes until onions are almost translucent.
Add garlic.
Add potatoes and about 1 tablespoons more olive oil.
Stir with onions and garlic.
Cover skillet and let cook 4-5 minutes, stirring a couple times. Potatoes should now be slightly fork tender.
Add ginger, paprika and cayenne and stir.
Make a \"hole\" in the mixture, exposing a small circle of the bottom of the skillet and add sesame oil to it.
Stir ingredients well and let cook another couple minutes.
Remove ingredients from skillet to a bowl and set aside.
Add a little more olive oil and brown the ground beef.
Mix in a dash of salt and pepper.
Drain liquid, leaving a little bit in the pan.
Add the onion/garlic/potato mixture back to pan and combine with beef.
Add soy sauce and rice wine vinegar and stir well.
Taste mixture and add whatever you think it needs. I usually add a little more ginger at this point. Soy sauce adds tangy/salty flavor, rice wine vinegar is sour, etc.
After cooking a couple more minutes, add cilantro and stir well.
Serve by itself or over steamed rice.
Enjoy!
