Teriyaki Steak and Rainbow Chard Stir-Fry image

It can be tempting to cut skirt steak with the grain, but for a more tender chew, cut the steak into 4-inch pieces and then slice against the grain. For a spicy kick, add a diced red chile to the teriyaki sauce.

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup long-grain white rice
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon light-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 clove garlic, finely grated
1-inch piece ginger, peeled and finely grated (about 2 teaspoons)
5 scallions
One 12-ounce bunch rainbow chard
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 pound skirt steak, trimmed, halved and cut against the grain into 1/8-inch-thick strips
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Prepare the rice according to the package directions.
  • Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, salt, garlic, ginger and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan set over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set the sauce aside.
  • Meanwhile, cut 4 of the scallions into 2-inch lengths. Finely chop the remaining scallion and set aside for serving.
  • Strip the chard leaves from the stems. Thinly slice the stems and roughly chop the leaves, keeping them separate.
  • Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the 4 scallions and chard stems and cook, stirring, until just starting to wilt and pick up color, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the steak to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the steak is browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the sauce and chard leaves and stir until the chard just wilts.
  • Divide the rice between two bowls and spoon the stir-fry over the top. Sprinkle with the finely chopped scallion and sesame seeds.
