Chinese Five Spice Steak With Rice Noodles Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Mix together the flour, five-spice powder and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Toss the beef in the flour mixture and set aside.
• Heat the butter and olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Working in 2 batches, sear the meat on all sides until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Remove the meat to a plate and set aside.
• To the pot, add the ginger, chili paste, garlic and scallion whites. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Deglaze with the sherry, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the broth, soy sauce, honey, star anise and bay leaves and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the seared beef, cover the pot, transfer to the oven and cook until the meat is falling apart, about 2 hours.
• Serve over rice, garnished with the reserved scallion greens.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees.
• Coat a cast-iron skillet with cooking spray and place in the oven while preparing the spice rub.
• Combine the sugar, five-spice powder, garlic powder and salt in a small bowl.
• Sprinkle half the mixture evenly over the surface of the steak, then pat or rub it into the meat.
• Turn the steak over, and repeat on the second side.
• Place the steak in the hot cast-iron skillet.
• Cook 6 to 7 minutes on each side, depending on desired degree of doneness.
• Remove the steak from the oven, and let it rest on the carving board for 3 to 5 minutes.
• Cut it across the grain on the diagonal in thin strips.

Steps:

• Finely grate 2 tsp. orange zest from 1 orange into a small bowl. Cut all oranges in half; set aside.
• Add five-spice powder, brown sugar, and 2 tsp. kosher salt to bowl with zest and stir to combine. Rub steak all over with spice mixture.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over high. Cook steak, turning often, until browned on all sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 130˚F for medium-rare, 15-20 minutes total. After steak has cooked for about 5 minutes, nestle orange halves cut side down around steak and cook until well browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer oranges to a plate. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
• Arrange broccolini in an even layer in same skillet and heat over high. Cook, undisturbed, until well charred, about 3 minutes. Toss and continue to cook until tender and slightly charred all over, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a large bowl. Squeeze in juice from 2 orange halves over. Add sesame oil, red pepper flakes, 1 tsp. sesame seeds, and remaining 1/4 tsp. kosher salt and toss to coat.
• Transfer steak to a platter. Arrange broccolini mixture alongside. Top with scallions, sea salt, and remaining sesame seeds. Serve with charred orange halves to squeeze over, rice, and hot sauce alongside, if desired.
