2 | Egg whites (large) | |
1 teaspoon | 5ml | Sesame oil |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Cornstarch |
Kosher salt - to taste | ||
Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste | ||
1 lb | 454g / 16oz | Boneless beef top round - sliced paper-thin |
Against the grain | ||
8 | Fresh chives - minced | |
1/2 cup | 118ml | Peanut oil |
1 | Fresh ginger - (abt 1") - peeled, minced | |
2 | Garlic cloves - minced | |
2 | Green onions, white and green parts - chopped | |
1 | Dried red chile | |
3/4 lb | 340g / 11oz | Green beans - halved on the bias |
1/2 cup | 118ml | Chicken broth |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Low-sodium soy sauce |
1 tablespoon | 15ml | Rice vinegar |
1 tablespoon | 15ml | Sugar |
3 tablespoons | 45ml | Creamy peanut butter |
2 | Strips orange peel | |
1/4 cup | 36g / 1.3oz | Roasted peanuts - chopped |
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of the cornstarch until foamy; season with salt and pepper. Add the beef and chives, toss to coat in the marinade and stick it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Pour the peanut oil in a large skillet or wok and place over high heat. When the oil is smoking hot, add 1/2 of the beef. (If you fry all the meat at once the oil temperature will drop and the beef will stew instead of crisp.) Fry for 2 minutes then remove to a paper towel to drain; repeat with the remaining beef. Very carefully drain all but 2 tablespoons of the hot oil into a safe container.
Stir-fry the ginger, garlic, green onions, and chile in the remaining oil until they perfume. Add the green beans; season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry the beans for 2 minutes until crisp-tender; remove from the pan.
Mix the chicken broth with the remaining tablespoon of cornstarch to make a slurry and add it to the pan. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, peanut butter, and orange peel. Simmer until the sauce is thick, about 5 minutes.
Return the beef and green beans to the pan, tossing to coat in the sauce. Garnish with chopped peanuts and serve with rice.
