Ingredients for Asian Beef And Cauliflower

  • Olive Oil
  • Lean Round Steak
  • Beef Broth
  • Head Cauliflower
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • Light Soy Sauce
  • Garlic Clove
  • Fresh Gingerroot
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ¼ cup water
  • Cooked Rice

How to Make Asian Beef And Cauliflower

  1. Season beef cubes with salt and pepper. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, brown beef cubes over medium-high heat in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Set aside.
  2. Add beef broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Return the browned beef to the skillet.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, or until beef is very tender.
  4. Add cauliflower florets and green bell pepper to the skillet.
  5. Stir in soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger (if using).
  6. Cover and simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch, brown sugar, and ¼ cup of water until smooth.
  8. Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the skillet, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
  9. Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring continuously until it thickens to your desired consistency (about 1-2 minutes).
  10. Serve the Asian Beef and Cauliflower over a bed of cooked rice.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
