Ingredients
Marinade and Sauce
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice cooking wine
1 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon grated ginger or ginger paste
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
Beef Stir Fry
1 1/4 lbs. strip steak, flank steak, or sirloin
2 tablespoons vegetable oil substitute peanut oil or canola oil
3 large eggs beaten
4 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion finely diced
2 medium carrots peeled and finely chopped
4 cups cooked and chilled rice
1 cup frozen peas
1 green onion thinly sliced
Instructions
Whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, rice-cooking wine (rice wine), mirin, ginger, and sesame oil in a large Pyrex measuring cup or in a medium bowl. Then pour half of that mixture into a separate medium bowl, add the cut-up steak, and stir to coat. Cover and set that bowl aside for 30 minutes.
Add 1 tablespoon oil to a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Using tongs remove the beef from the marinade. letting any excess marinade drip back into the bowl. Add the beef to the skillet in a single layer with some space between the pieces. Cook undisturbed for a couple of minutes or until browned. Then flip and brown the other side. Remove the beef to a plate and cover to keep warm. Work in batches, and do not crowd the pan.
Very carefully wipe the pan clean with paper towels if needed. It will be hot, so wear some ovenproof gloves. Melt a tablespoon of butter over low heat. Add the beaten eggs and cook scrambled style. Remove the eggs, place them on a plate, and cover to keep them warm.
Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet over medium-high heat and add the onion and carrots. Cook for 5 minutes or until crisp-tender, stirring frequently. Remove the veggies from the pan and place them on top of the cooked beef. Cover to keep warm.
