Technique to learn

High-Heat Stir-Sear

Searing meat at maximum heat preserves tenderness while creating caramelized flavor in Japanese western-style skillet cooking.

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, and crushed black pepper together until smooth.
Step 2: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat until smoking.

Step 3: Add sliced garlic and onions, stir-frying for 2 minutes until onions soften slightly and become fragrant.

Step 4: Add shimeji mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for another 2 minutes until mushrooms brown slightly.

Step 5: Push vegetables to one side, add remaining oil and sliced beef, spreading slices flat to sear for 2 minutes.

Step 6: Toss beef and vegetables together, pour in sauce mixture, and stir rapidly over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes until sauce thickens.

Step 7: Garnish with chopped scallions and serve hot over steamed rice.

Cooking tips

Slice the beef while partially frozen to get paper-thin strips that cook quickly and absorb flavor.
Use high heat throughout to prevent the mushrooms and beef from steaming in their own juices.

Use halal-certified meat, poultry, stock, sauces, cheese and other processed ingredients. Check labels and avoid cross-contamination. Recipe screening is not halal certification.
