Main Ingredients- Beef Brisket 4 servings
- Pork Sirloin (flower cut) 200g
- Bean Sprouts 80g
- Black Pepper 1 tsp
- Soju 2 Tbsp
- Cooking Oil 1 Tbsp
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium-high heat. Add the sirloin and beef brisket and stir-fry until they turn grayish and are cooked through. Adding 2 tablespoons of soju while cooking helps eliminate any gamey odor from the meat.
Step 2
Once the meat is partially cooked, add sliced onions and green onions (or the white parts of leeks) along with dried chili peppers. Stir-fry everything together to release their aromas. Even without a meal kit, this dish is easily made with beef brisket, bean sprouts, onions, and green onions. If you don’t have dried chili peppers, red pepper flakes or whole dried chilies can be substituted.
Step 3
When the ingredients are well combined, pour in the prepared sauce and stir-fry, ensuring everything is evenly coated. To make the sauce from scratch, whisk together 3 Tbsp mentsuyu (Japanese dipping sauce), 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp mirin (sweet rice wine), a pinch of black pepper, and 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic. Adjust seasonings to your preference.
Step 4
Finally, add the bean sprouts. Stir-fry quickly over high heat for less than a minute, then turn off the heat immediately. The residual heat will cook the bean sprouts perfectly, keeping them delightfully crisp. Avoid overcooking to maintain their fresh texture.
Step 5
Your delicious Beef Brisket and Sirloin with Bean Sprouts Stir-fry is now ready! If the sauce seems a bit thin, you can thicken it slightly by adding a small amount of cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water).
Step 6
This enhanced Beef Brisket and Sirloin with Bean Sprouts Stir-fry, made by adding succulent sirloin to a meal kit base, offers a delightful meaty texture and rich flavor. Transfer the stir-fry to a serving plate.
Step 7
To complete the authentic Izakaya presentation, generously sprinkle katsuobushi (bonito flakes) over the stir-fry. Garnish with finely chopped green onions for a final flourish. This creates a truly exquisite Beef Brisket and Sirloin with Bean Sprouts Stir-fry. Enjoy it with a warm bowl of rice or a cold beer!
