China is really the “culinary capital of world”,Sizzling beef short ribs, also known as “sizzling ribeye” or “sizzling beef,” is a popular and flavorful Chinese dish. The key to this dish is marinating the beef to infuse it with flavor and then cooking it quickly at a high temperature to achieve a sizzling effect. Here’s a step-by-step guide to cooking this delicious meal:

Ingredients:

• Beef Short Ribs: 500g (cut into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick)
• Ginger: 1-inch piece, finely minced
• Garlic: 3-4 cloves, finely minced
• Scallions: 2-3, finely chopped (white and green parts separated)
• Soy Sauce: 2 tablespoons
• Oyster Sauce: 1 tablespoon
• Hoisin Sauce: 1 tablespoon
• Shaoxing Wine (Chinese Cooking Wine): 1 tablespoon
• Dark Soy Sauce: 1 teaspoon (for color)
• Sugar: 1 teaspoon
• Cornstarch: 1 tablespoon (mixed with 1 tablespoon water to make a slurry)
• Vegetable Oil: 2-3 tablespoons
• Sesame Oil: 1 teaspoon
• Black Pepper: 1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground
• Water or Beef Stock: 1/4 cup
• Optional Vegetables: Bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms, sliced (for added texture and flavor)

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Beef:

• In a large bowl, combine the beef slices with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of Shaoxing wine, 1 teaspoon of dark soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and half of the minced ginger and garlic.
• Mix well to ensure the beef is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.

2. Prepare the Sizzling Platter:

• Preheat a cast-iron platter or a heavy skillet in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 10-15 minutes. This will help create the sizzling effect when you add the hot ingredients.

3. Cook the Beef:

• Heat 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat.
• Add the remaining minced ginger and garlic, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
• Add the marinated beef and any optional vegetables. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the beef is nearly cooked through.
• Add 1/4 cup of water or beef stock, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and 1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce. Stir to combine.
• Add the cornstarch slurry and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
• Remove from heat and add the white parts of the scallions. Stir to combine.

4. Serve Sizzling:

• Carefully remove the preheated platter from the oven and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
• Quickly transfer the hot beef and sauce onto the preheated platter. The sizzling sound and steam should be immediate.
• Garnish with the green parts of the scallions.
• Serve immediately while the platter is still sizzling.

Tips:

• Thin Slices: Make sure the beef is cut into thin slices to ensure it cooks quickly and remains tender.
• High Heat: Use high heat when stir-frying the beef to get a nice sear and keep the meat juicy.
• Preheating the Platter: Preheating the platter is crucial for the sizzling effect. Make sure it is very hot before adding the beef.
• Vegetables: Adding some colorful and crunchy vegetables like bell peppers or onions can enhance the dish’s texture and flavor.
