Five Spice Beef Stir Fry Recipes

Steps:

• Boil water for rice and prepare to package directions.
• Place beef broth in a small pot over low heat to warm the liquid.
• Heat a wok shaped skillet or pan over high heat. Add oil (it will smoke) and meat bits. Stir-fry meat 3 minutes and remove from pan or move off to the side of the wok. Return pan to heat and add peppers and onions. Stir-fry veggies 2 minutes. Add meat back to the pan. Add sherry and stir fry until liquid almost evaporates about 1 minute. Add soy sauce to the pan. Dissolve cornstarch with a ladle of warm beef broth. Add beef broth to the pan, then add cornstarch combined with broth, the five-spice powder and black pepper. Stir sauce until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Adjust seasonings. Add more soy or salt if necessary. Remove stir-fry from heat. Fill dinner bowls with beef stir-fry and top with a scoop of rice. Scoop rice with ice cream scoop to get a rounded ball. By placing rice on top of stir-fry, rice will stay firm and not soak up too much sauce. Garnish with chopped scallions and smoked almonds.

Steps:

• Mix broth, stir-fry sauce and five-spice powder until blended; set aside.
• Heat 1 Tbsp. dressing in large skillet on medium heat. Add carrots, peppers and onions; stir-fry 2 to 3 min. or until crisp-tender. Spoon into large bowl; cover to keep warm. Add cabbage to skillet; stir-fry 2 min. or until crisp-tender. Add to carrot mixture; mix well. Cover.
• Add remaining dressing and meat to skillet; stir-fry 4 min. or until meat is done. Add broth mixture; stir-fry 2 min. or until heated through.
