Categories     Beef     Dinner     Lunch     Stir-Fry

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 Double 8 Cattle Company Fullblood Wagyu Bottom Round Steak
12 ounces Shishito Peppers (stems removed)
3 tablespoons Grapeseed Oil (divided)
4 1/2 teaspoons Sesame Oil (divided)
1 tablespoon Corn Starch
2 tablespoons Shallots (minced)
2 Garlic Cloves (minced)
1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger (minced)
3 tablespoons Rice Wine
2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
1/2 Lemon (juiced)
1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Seeds (for garnish)
1 Kosher Salt (to season)

Steps:

  • PREPARING THE SHISHITO PEPPERS: Cut the Wagyu bottom round steak into half-inch, bite-size pieces against the grain. Leave the steak sitting on a plate at room temperature while you prepare the other ingredients. Heat a large wok over high heat. Add in one tablespoon of grapeseed oil and 1 1/2 teaspoons of sesame oil. Once the oil is slightly smoking, add in half of the Shishito peppers. Fry the peppers until they are slightly charred and tender. Remove them from the wok, and place them in a bowl. Repeat the process with 1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons of sesame oil, and the Shishito peppers. Once all of the peppers are finished, place the charred Shishito peppers in the bowl. Reserve.
  • PREPARING THE WAGYU BEEF: Place the pieces of Wagyu bottom round steak in a small bowl, and season with kosher salt. Sprinkle the corn starch over the Wagyu beef, and mix well. Add 1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil and 1 1/2 teaspoons of sesame oil to the wok, and heat over medium-high heat. Once the oil is slightly smoking, add in the Wagyu beef. Brown the beef on both sides for 3-4 minutes. Then, add the beef to the bowl with the Shishito peppers. Reserve.
  • PREPARING THE STIR FRY: Add the rice wine, minced shallot, minced ginger, and minced garlic to the wok. Lower the heat to medium. Stir for around 2 minutes until the shallots are golden and softened. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce and tomato paste. Add the mixture to the wok. Add the charred Shishito peppers and Wagyu beef back to the wok. Toss to coat. Add in the lemon juice, and season to taste with kosher salt.
  • FINAL STEPS: Garnish with sesame seeds, and divide the stir fry between bowls. Serve hot, and enjoy!

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
20 or so shishito peppers (about 4 or 5 ounces, 1 small basket)
Sprinkle kosher salt
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (optional)

Steps:

  • Salt: Remove to a bowl and sprinkle the shishito peppers with salt.
  • Make balsamic glaze (Optional): Add a couple tablespoons of balsamic vinegar* to the pan. Remove from heat, and let bubble until the vinegar reduces to a glaze, which should be very quickly. Pour over the blistered shishito peppers. *Balsamic vinegar can be syrupy and sweet, or thin and acidic. Use the syrupy kind. If what you have is thin and very acidic, stir with a half teaspoon of sugar or honey before adding to the hot pan.

BLISTERED SHISHITO PEPPERS

This appetizer served in Japanese bars, American steakhouses and everywhere in between is finger food at its best. The charred, sweet peppers have a built-in handle, and they really don't need more than flaky salt for seasoning. That said, you could garnish further with lemon or lime zest, gomasio, bonito flakes, grated cheese, smoked paprika, sumac and so on. You can also cook Padrón peppers using the same method. They have a slightly different shape, but are similarly thin-skinned and mild. One warning, though: Each batch of shishito and Padrón peppers have a handful of surprisingly hot peppers that look identical to the tame ones, so proceed with caution.

Time 10m

Yield 4 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

8 ounces shishito peppers
1 tablespoon neutral oil (such as vegetable or grapeseed)
Flaky salt

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, toss the peppers with the oil. Heat a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet over high until a drop of water smokes on the surface, 2 to 3 minutes. (You may want to turn on your vent, too.)
  • Add the peppers in a single layer and cook, without touching, until blistered underneath, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until blistered in spots, puffed, and tender, another 1 to 2 minutes. Season with flaky salt and serve right away.
