Chinese Braised Beef And Noodles Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat; cook steak, working in batches, until seared and browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer seared steak to a plate.
• Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat and saute onion until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add steak to onion and pour beef stock over steak; season with bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover skillet with a lid, and simmer until steak is tender, 50 minutes to 1 hour 50 minutes. Stir peas and cornstarch into steak mixture; cook uncovered until liquid thickens, about 10 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 5 minutes; drain. Serve beef mixture over noodles.

Steps:

• Boil noodles in water for about 10 minutes. Rinse, drain and mix in 2 tablespoons oil. Set aside.
• Marinade flank steak in soy sauce and cornstarch for 10 minutes.
• Heat wok. In 2 tablespoons oil stir fry beef until the color has changed. Remove from wok and place in bowl.
• Heat wok. In 2 tablespoons oil, add mushrooms, carrots and snow peas. Stir fry briefly until snow peas turn bright green. Remove from wok and place in bowl.
• Heat wok and to 2 tablespoons oil, add green onions. Stir fry 4 seconds, then add broth, soy sauce and salt.
• Stir in cooked noodles, mix for about 3 minutes.
• Add cooked beef and vegetables, blend thoroughly before mixing in bean sprouts.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large, shallow casserole. Fry the garlic, ginger, onions and chilli for 3 mins until soft and fragrant. Tip onto a plate. Toss the beef in the flour, add 1 tbsp more oil to the pan, then brown the meat in batches, adding the final tbsp oil if you need to. It should take about 5 mins to brown each batch properly.
• Add the five-spice and star anise (if using) to the pan, tip in the gingery mix, then fry for 1 min until the spices are fragrant. Add the sugar, then the beef and stir until combined. Keep the heat high, then splash in the wine or sherry, scraping up any meaty bits. Heat oven to 150C/fan 130C/gas 2.
• Pour in the soy and stock (it won't cover the meat completely), bring to a simmer, then tightly cover, transfer to the oven and cook for 1½-2 hrs, stirring the meat halfway through. The meat should be very soft, and any sinewy bits should have melted away. Season with more soy. This can now be chilled and frozen for up to 1 month.
• Nestle the cooked bok choi into the pan, then bring to the table with the basmati rice straight away and tuck in.

Steps:

• Cook the noodles in salted boiling water just until tender; drain, and rinse under cold water.
• Cut the beef into very thin slices.
• Mix together the garlic, salt, ginger, and five-spice powder, and add the mixture to the beef; mix.
• Heat the oil and saute the beef over high heat for 2 minutes.
• Mix together the soy sauce and broth, and add it to the beef; bring to a boil.
• Mix the cornstarch with the remaining 4 tsp water, stir into the beef and cook until smooth and thick.
• Add noodles, mix well and heat thoroughly.
• Add the green onions, and stir for another minute.
• Serve immediately.
