I have plenty of cooking to do and looking forward to enjoy spending time with my family and friends. So, a quick post for a simply stir-fry beef with cumin that I have made earlier. The beef is lightly spicy, tasty, and delicious served with steamed rice. Enjoy the holiday and have fun!!

Beef With Cumin

Ingredients

12 oz Trimmed Beef Steak, such as Sirloin
2 tsp Finely chopped fresh Ginger
1 Tbsp Finely chopped Garlic
2 Fresh Red Chilies, seeds and stem discarded and finely chopped
2-4 tsp Dried Chili Flakes
2 tsp Ground Cumin
Sea Salt
2 Scallions, green parts only, finely sliced
1 tsp Sesame Oil
1 3/4 Cup Peanut Oil for frying

Marinade
1 Tbsp Shaoxing Wine
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Light Soy Sauce
1 tsp Dark Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp Potato Flour
1 Tbsp Water

Method

Cut the beef across the grain into thin slices, ideally 1 1/2 by 1 3/4 inches. Add the marinade ingredients and mix well.

Heat the peanut oil to about 275˚F. Add the beef and stir gently. As soon as the pieces have separated, remove them from the oil and drain well; set aside.

Pour off all but 3 Tbsp of oil. Over a high flame, add the ginger, garlic, fresh chilies, chili flakes, and cumin and stir-fry briefly until fragrant. Return the beef to the wok and stir well, seasoning with salt to taste.

When all the ingredients are sizzling fragrant and delicious, add the scallion greens and toss briefly. remove from the heat, stir in the sesame oil and serve.

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
