Seven Flavor Beef Recipes

Steps:

• Cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until no longer pink. Stir frequently, and break into pieces. Drain off grease.
• Add onion, celery, and green pepper to the skillet, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in ketchup, vinegar, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato sauce. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes. Spoon onto buns, and serve.

Steps:

• Combine all of the marinade ingredients. Add the beef and marinate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours in refrigerator.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a wok on high heat. Wok-fry beef in hot oil until half-cooked, about 1 minute. Add hoisin sauce and wok-fry until meat is about 80 percent cooked. Add the peanuts and Thai basil and wok-fry another 30 seconds.

Steps:

• Combine all marinade ingredients in a nonreactive baking dish and marinate beef for 1 hour.
• Heat oil in a wok and heat over high heat. When oil is hot, add red onion, green onion, and bean sprouts and sear for 1 minute, stirring. Set aside on serving dish.
• Add beef to very hot wok and sear until rare. Add hoisin sauce and toss until coated. Add ground peanuts and basil and cook until meat is medium rare.
• Serve meat over onions and bean sprouts.
