A simple beef marinade for Asian stir fry
Servings: 1
Calories: 808kcal
Ingredients
- 300 g beef
Beef Marinade
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon dark soy sauce (optional, for color)
- ½ tablespoon Shaoxing cooking wine (or dry sherry)
- 2 tablespoons water
- ½ tablespoon neutral oil
- ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon corn starch
Instructions
- Thinly slice the beef against the grain and put it in a small bowl.
- Add in all the ingredients from 'Beef Marinade' and mix it into the beef by hand.
Notes
- This beef marinade also works very well with chicken and pork.
- Adding water to any type of chicken, pork, or beef marinade not only rehydrates the meat so that it becomes juicier and moister but when combined with soy sauce it also makes it a mini brine which gives it another level of hydration so your beef always stays tender and juicy.
- Alternatively, if you don't want to use corn starch for velveting beef, you can also use tapioca starch or potato starch but any type of starch will actually do the trick.
- For the neutral oil, I like to use avocado oil but any type of oil will work as well.
