stir fry meats

What are the best cuts of red meat to use in stir fry? Btw do you have any recipes for stir fry meals?

I really like P.F. Chang's recipe for Mongolian Beef. It says to use flank steak, but I prefer flap steak.

I also like Bool Kogi:

and Japanese Sukiyaki:

Lots of other chicken, pork, and seafood recipes that are great to stir fry on the Egg.

I'm a pork fan personally...as for recipes stir fry is one I just "do" with whatever I have on hand and they are always good!

I use sirloin in my beef and broccoli stir-fry because it is a cut that I like and I find that cheaper cuts taste like...well, cheaper cuts. I put the meat in the freezer for about 30 min and then slice it thin.

I also keep my stir-fry pretty simple. I use the steak, of course, some cornstarch, beef stock, garlic, broccoli, onion, soy sauce, brown sugar and ginger. That's it.

Toss the beef in cornstarch that has been dissolved in some water stir-fry in oil until done to your liking and remove. Add the broccoli and onion cooking until crisp tender and then add the beef back in. Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic and beef stock and add to the pan. Cook another 2 minutes and serve over raw okra.

As far as amounts? I have no idea - it depends on the amount of meat and what you like. For one pound of meat I would go with 3/4 cup beef stock, 1/3 cup soy, a couple of tbs brown sugar and a couple teaspoons of ginger.

Oh, and actually I serve over rice. I can't stand okra.

I might add that my wife can take or leave stir fry so lately it has become a meal I make for myself for lunch. That way I always get 2 meals out of it. Tuesday I had some leftover Forbidden Black rice and I just mixed it in while reheating the stir fry and it was quite delicious. Just be creative is my suggestion!

I did a quick stir fry (or stir fire) on the Egg this week:

Easy Stir "Fired" Pepper Steak
source: NibbleMeThis

1 lb milanesa style cut beef (thin sliced steak cutlets)
1 jar Kikkoman's Teriyaki Baste & Glaze with Honey and Pineapple
1 ea onion, sliced crosswise into 1/2" slices
1 ea green bell pepper, sliced into 1/2" slices seeds removed
1 ea red bell pepper, sliced into 1/2" slices seeds removed
1/2 cup beef broth
1 Tablespoon dry sherry
1 cup sweet Jasamine rice
1/4 cup green onion sliced

Marinate the beef in about 1/2 cup of the Teriyaki Baste & Glaze at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Grill the steaks over direct heat at 450f for about 1 minute per side and set aside. You don't want them all of the way cooked through because they are going into the wok.

Grill the onion and peppers about 2-3 minutes aside. You should start to get a little char on them and they should start being tender.

Quarter the onion and pepper slices. Slice the steak into 1" wide strips.

Put the wok on the grill and turn the heat up to high (I'm guessing mine was about 600f by this time). Add the beef broth, sherry, and 1/4 cup of the Teryaki Baste and Glaze and allow to come to a simmer.

Add the steak and veggies and stir-fire them for 2 minutes.

Make a slurry with the cold water and starch, then whisk that in. Cook and too for another minute.

Serve with the cooked rice and garnished with green onion. Have some of the extra Terriyaki Baste and Glaze on the side as a condiment.
