Mediterranean Stir-Fried Beef
Description
This vibrant dish marries tender, thinly sliced beef with the bright acidity of red wine vinegar and the earthiness of garlic. The beef is quickly stir-fried to keep it juicy, then combined with a mix of fresh mushrooms and frozen vegetables for a colorful, nutrient-rich medley. Served over buttery linguine and finished with a sprinkle of Parmesan, it offers a perfect balance of savory, tangy, and umami flavors. It’s an excellent choice for a quick weeknight dinner that feels special yet remains simple to prepare. The combination of textures—from the soft pasta to the crisp-tender veggies—makes every bite satisfying and hearty.Ingredients
Directions
-
Partially freeze the beef to make slicing easier, then thinly slice it across the grain into bite-size strips.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the water, red wine vinegar, minced dried onion, pepper, and ground red pepper to create the marinade.
-
Add the sliced beef to the marinade, mixing well to coat, and let it marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente. Drain and toss with butter to prevent sticking; keep warm.
-
Drain the beef from the marinade, reserving the liquid in a separate bowl. Stir the cornstarch into the reserved marinade until smooth and set aside.
-
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
Add the marinated beef to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
-
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add the frozen vegetable pack and stir-fry for 4 minutes until heated through.
-
Give the cornstarch-marinade mixture a final stir and pour it into the skillet with the vegetables.
-
Return the beef to the skillet. Cook and stir constantly until the sauce bubbles and thickens, about 2 minutes.
-
Arrange the buttered linguine on a serving platter and top with the beef and vegetable mixture.
-
Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
