Asian Beef Stir-Fry Recipe

Stir-frys are a quick and easy way to provide a delicious meal in minutes.  

In this recipe, we used Terrapin Ridge Farms Ginger, Miso & Honey Dressing as the marinade and sauce to elevate this dish to the next level.

Ingredients

• 1 lb Beef Tenderloin, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1/3 cup, plus 3/4 cup Terrapin Ridge Farms Ginger, Miso & Honey Dressing
• 1 onion, sliced thin
• 1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
• 1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil (optional)
• 1/2 cup Broccoli Florets
• 1 Red Pepper, sliced thin
• 2 Tbsp water

Preparation

Cook the rice according to package directions.

While the rice is cooking, place the meat, 1/3 cup Terrapin Ridge Farms Ginger, Miso & Honey Dressing in a glass bowl, and set aside while preparing the veggies. Place the wok or large saute pan over medium high heat for 1 minute. Add the beef, garlic, Cayenne Pepper and cook the meat for 2 minutes.  Remove the meat from the pan and set aside on a plate.

Increase the heat on the wok or pan to high, add the oil & onion and stir fry for 2 1/2 minutes (this is optional.  I didn't add the oil because of the amount of liquid used to marinate was sufficient).  Add the red pepper and broccoli and cook for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to med high, add water, and cover the pan and cook the vegetables for 1 minute.

Remove the lid.  Place the beef back in the pan with the vegetables along with the 3/4 cup Terrapin Ridge Farms Ginger, Miso & Honey Dressing. Cook for 1 additional minute.  Serve over a bed of steamed rice along with our Savory Wedge Bread Recipe and Cherry Applesauce for a complete meal.  Enjoy!

Serves four.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 Tablespoons (Tbsp) Cherchies® Select Grilling Rub and Seasoning Blend

• 4 Tablespoons (Tbsp) Cilantro Lime Dressing (recipe below)

• 1 1/2 lb red snapper fillets (or favorite meaty, flaky, white fish)

• 1 lime sliced into slices

• 8 each (6-inch) corn tortillas

• 2 cups shredded coleslaw mix (pre-packaged at the grocery store)

• Prepared mango salsa (purchased from the grocery store)- Or, use Cherchies® Black Bean & Corn Salsa or Cherchies® Vidalia Onion Peach Salsa

• 1 teaspoon (tsp) Cherchies® Chardonnay Lime & Cilantro Seasoning

• cooking spray

• Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

• 2 Tablespoons (Tbsp) chopped cilantro

Ingredients for Cilantro Lime Dressing (Click HERE for the blog post)

• 1 Tablespoon (Tbsp.) Cherchies® Chardonnay Lime & Cilantro Seasoning (more to taste)

• 1/4 teaspoon (tsp.) ground pepper

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise

• 1/2 cup sour cream

• 1 bunch of cilantro, stems included

• 2 cloves garlic

• 1 small jalapeno, seeds removed, roughly chopped

• 1/3 to 1/2 cups half and half

• Zest of half a lime

• Juice of half a lime

• *Optional- add one tomatillo, hulled and cut in half

** Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth.

Taco Preparation

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.  Meanwhile, pulse the coleslaw mix and Cilantro Lime Dressing in a food processor or blender until finely chopped. Set aside the coleslaw mixture.

Sprinkle Cherchies® Select Grilling Rub & Seasoning Blend evenly over both sides of the fish. Place the fish on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Place lime slices on the fish and bake at 425 degrees for 9 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. When the fish has been cooked, remove it from the oven and squeeze any remaining lime juice from the lime over the cooked fish.

In a small bowl, add mango salsa and sprinkle the salsa with Cherchies® Chardonnay Lime & Cilantro Seasoning Blend. Mix the salsa and the seasoning to combine.  Set aside. 

Now it's time to assemble the tacos.  One option is to create a taco bar for your guests and place the ingredients in separate bowls so they can create their own tacos.  The other option is simply to arrange the tacos on a platter and serve them all at once.  I prefer the former method.

Place the fish in a bowl, and break the fish into pieces with a fork. Heat the tortillas according to the package directions.  Divide the fish evenly among tortillas.  Top the fish with the coleslaw mixture, followed by the mango salsa mixture.

Next, top each taco with a 1/4 cup coleslaw mixture and 1 tbsp of the Cilantro Lime Dressing.   Finish the tacos by sprinkling cheese and chopped cilantro over the top the tacos.
