Main Ingredients- 3 asparagus spears
- 1/2 onion
- 1/2 bell pepper (any color of your choice)
- 300g beef for chop steak (sirloin, tenderloin, etc.)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 knob of butter (approx. 10g)
- 3 cloves garlic
Special Steak Sauce- 4 tbsp store-bought steak sauce
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp oligosaccharide (or honey)
- 2 tbsp cooking wine (mirin or similar)
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 4 tbsp store-bought steak sauce
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp oligosaccharide (or honey)
- 2 tbsp cooking wine (mirin or similar)
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables for your chop steak. Wash the asparagus, trim off the tough ends, and cut them into 2-3cm pieces. Dice the onion and bell pepper into bite-sized cubes, removing the seeds. Thinly slice the peeled garlic cloves. Having all your ingredients prepped beforehand makes cooking much smoother.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the special sauce that’s key to a delicious chop steak. In a bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of store-bought steak sauce, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, 2 tablespoons of oligosaccharide, 2 tablespoons of cooking wine, and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Whisk everything together until well combined. Preparing the sauce in advance will infuse your steak with wonderful flavor.
Step 3
Heat a wide pan over medium-high heat. Add the knob of butter and let it melt completely. Once the butter is melted, add the sliced garlic and stir-fry quickly for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 4
Once the butter and garlic are fragrant, add the beef for the chop steak. The beef should be lightly seasoned with salt and pepper beforehand. The most crucial secret to making chop steak tender and juicy is to cook it quickly over high heat for a short time. Use chopsticks or tongs to stir the beef, ensuring it doesn’t clump together.
Step 5
As soon as the beef starts to brown slightly on the outside, add the prepared bell pepper and onion to the pan. Feel free to use different vegetables or colors based on what you have or your preference. Incorporating a variety of colorful vegetables will make your chop steak look even more appetizing.
Step 6
Now that all the ingredients are in the pan, pour in the special sauce you prepared. Keep the heat on high and stir-fry everything together quickly for about 3 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well coated. The key is to cook it rapidly to lock in the juices, maintaining a tender texture. Stir-fry just until the vegetables are crisp-tender, and your delicious beef chop steak is ready!
