Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare your beef for grilling. I used chuck flap tail and skirt steak for tenderness and flavor. Pat the beef dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring a clean taste without any gamey odors. Season the beef generously with herb salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Feel free to use any vegetables you have on hand. I chose to use pumpkin (kabocha squash), but it takes a bit longer to cook. For quicker cooking, consider adding ingredients like king oyster mushrooms or broccoli, which cook very fast. Adding pineapple or apple will also enhance the flavor with a lovely tanginess.
Step 3
Chop the vegetables and apple into bite-sized pieces. Slice the garlic thinly to maximize its flavor release during cooking.
Step 4
Cut the beef into similarly large pieces, about the same size as the vegetables. This ensures a satisfying chew and a hearty presentation.
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved, creating your delicious chop steak sauce. Set aside.
Step 6
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté gently until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as this will impart a bitter taste.
Step 7
To speed up cooking, microwave the pumpkin pieces for about 2 minutes until slightly tender. Add the pre-cooked pumpkin and the onion to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Step 8
Add the seasoned beef to the skillet and stir-fry over high heat. Keep the beef pieces separated with chopsticks or a spatula to ensure even cooking and a nice sear on all sides.
Step 9
Once the beef is almost cooked through, pour in the prepared sauce. Add the butter and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the ingredients beautifully.
Step 10
Finally, add the chopped apple and bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry quickly for 1-2 minutes over high heat. This will keep the vegetables crisp and the apple wonderfully fresh. Toss everything together to ensure the sauce evenly coats all the ingredients. Your delicious beef chop steak is ready!
