Technique to learn

Yaji Dry Crusting

Coating high-heat seared meats in ground roasted peanuts and dry spices to build a aromatic caramelized crust.

Instructions

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut flour, ground ginger, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt to create the quick yaji spice mixture.

Step 2: Toss the sliced beef strips in 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil, then dredge thoroughly in the spice mixture until evenly coated.

Step 3: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a heavy cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot.

Step 4: Add the coated beef strips in a single layer and sear for 2 to 3 minutes without moving to develop a dark, aromatic crust. Flip and cook for another 1 minute, then transfer beef to a plate.

Step 5: Add the remaining vegetable oil to the hot skillet, then toss in the sliced bell pepper and red onion. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes until softened yet crisp at the edges.

Step 6: Return the seared beef to the skillet, stir well to combine with the vegetables for 1 minute until warmed through, and remove from heat immediately.

Cooking tips

Do not crowd the skillet when searing the beef; cook in two batches if necessary to maintain high heat and prevent steaming.
Adjust cayenne quantity according to heat preference.
