EASY BEEF WITH MUSHROOMS AND ONIONS

This is an easy beef with mushrooms and onions stir-fry with a delicious Hawaiian-inspired marinade and sauce


The sauce and marinade for this recipe is actually adopted from a steak marinade. This sauce has a little of everything that is delicious: citrus juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. The flavors come together wonderfully and it works great for this beef with mushrooms dish. This recipe yields plenty of sauce, so there’s more than enough left to sop up with rice. I usually add one cup of uncooked white rice to my rice cooker, and it yields enough cooked rice for this recipe, about two servings.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces flank steak or your favorite cut sliced into 1/4-inch thick strips
  • 10 ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 2 small shallots sliced
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 scallion thinly sliced

For steak marinade:

  • 1/4 cup orange juice about 1 navel orange, juiced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger minced

Instructions

  1. Combine all marinade ingredients in a small saucepot. Stir as you bring to a simmer over medium heat. Once it reaches a simmer, remove from heat and let sit until cool.
  2. Combine sliced steak with the marinade, stirring to coat. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably several hours for the meat to absorb some of the marinade.
  3. Heat canola oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and shallots. Cook until the mushrooms release their juices, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. Add steak and marinade to the same pan, stirring well. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook until the steak is done to your liking and the sauce has thickened a bit, a few minutes, stirring frequently. Top with sliced scallions.
  5. Serve immediately with steamed white rice.
