Easy Cashew Beef



This is truly an Asian meal that takes 30 minutes or less.  And that includes the prep time! 


This is a variation of one of those small cook books that you find in a grocery store checkout line.

Several years ago I found this little jewel of a cookbook while waiting to check out and it's full of simple Chinese recipes.  It's a bit tattered and torn but I still keep it around for reference.

This is a variation of the recipe that is in the book with my own twist. 

I love cashew chicken and cashew beef and have had it on my mind for a few weeks.  We still have plenty of left overs from Easter but I just had to have this.  Give it a swing and let me know what you think.

Very simple, very easy!

1 LB Beef (round, sirloin, flank etc.)
1 Green Bell Pepper - Sliced and Diced
1 Red Bell Pepper - Sliced and Diced
1 Cup of Small Baby Carrots cut in half
1/2 Cup Green Onion Diced
3 Tbl Spn Oyster Sauce
3 Tbl Spn Soy Sauce
1 Tbl Spn Sesame Seed Oil
1 Tbl Spn Garlic Chili Sauce
1/2 Tbl Spn Garlic Powder
1/2 Cup Unsalted Cashews

1 Cup Rice - Cooked

Slice the beef and season with salt and pepper and set aside.

In a skillet, heat 1 tbl spn olive oil and toast the cashews for about 3 minutes.  Remove from skillet and set aside.

 

Add another 1 Tbl Spn of Olive Oil, (medium high heat), then add the beef. Add the Oyster Sauce and sesame seed oil. Stir and coat the beef.  Cook until about half cooked - about 4 minutes or so turning and stirring.

 

Add the peppers, carrots, green onions and cook for 1 minute.  Stir.

 

Add the soy sauce, garlic chili sauce and garlic powder and stir well.  Incorporate everything together. Cook for about 7 minutes.

 

Add the cashews and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes. 

 

Remove from heat and serve!

 

Enjoy!
