I’ve decided to share a simple, yet delicious leek recipe – “Stir-fried Beef with Leeks”.
Leeks are often overlooked in favor of stronger tasting garlic and onions. However they’re rich in vitamins and have a more refined taste. I am a big fan.
When thinly sliced, they’re perfect for a stir-fry. I can’t wait to share with you.
I started by sautéing the dried chili peppers to infuse the oil with a spicy flavor. Chopped dried chili peppers burn easily, I recommend using medium-low heat and stirring occasionally while cooking.
If you can’t eat spicy food, feel free to skip this step.
I used thinly sliced beef ribeye for this dish. You can find it in most Korean or Japanese markets or simply ask the butcher to cut it for you.
When ribeye is sliced paper thin, it doesn’t take long to cook. I stir-fried for just under 2 minutes. Once it’s no longer pink, I added the leeks into the pan.
The seasonings for this dish are simple. Only soy sauce, sugar and salt can go a long way.
The key is keeping the ingredients tender and not overcooking them. Sliced leek and ribeye take only a few minutes to cook.
The best way to enjoy this dish is by paring it with a bowl of rice. You will be impressed by the flavor and texture of this dish!
Here is a recap of how I made this dish.
