Best Roast Beef Sirloin With Simple Asian Sauce Recipes

ASIAN POT ROAST: A NEW TAKE ON A CLASSIC SUNDAY DINNER

Steps:

• Pat the beef dry with a paper towel. Heat the oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the roast and sear for 5 minutes on each side, until browned.
• Add the ginger and cook for 2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the onions, garlic, beef stock, wine, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar. Bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
• After an hour and 30 minutes has elapsed, stir in the carrots, cover, and simmer for another hour. Uncover, and stir in the scallions and cornstarch mixture. Continue to simmer, stirring gently, until the sauce has thickened and the scallions have wilted (about 2-3 minutes). Serve!

MONGOLIAN BEEF

Steps:

• Combine the sliced beef with 1 teaspoon oil, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Marinate for 1 hour. The beef should still be quite moist after it has marinated. If it looks too dry, add a tablespoon of water to it.
• Next, dredge the marinated beef slices in the remaining 1/4 cup of cornstarch until lightly coated.
• In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and hot water (or low sodium chicken or beef stock) until the sugar is dissolved. Mix in 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce. If you don't have low sodium soy sauce, substitute 2 1/2 tablespoons regular soy sauce and 1 1/2 tablespoons water. The saltiness of various soy sauce brands varies, so give the sauce a taste, and adjust the amounts of sugar/soy sauce/water/stock to your own taste.
• Heat 1/3 cup vegetable oil in the wok over high heat. Just before the oil starts to smoke, spread the flank steak pieces evenly in the wok, and sear for 1 minute (depending upon the heat of your wok). Turn over and let the other side sear for another 30 seconds. Remove to a sheet pan. Tilt it slightly to let the oil drain to one side (lean it on a cookbook or cutting board). The beef should be seared with a crusty coating.
• Drain the oil from the wok, leaving 1 tablespoon behind, and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the ginger and dried chili peppers, if using. After about 15 seconds, add the garlic. Stir for another 10 seconds and add the premixed sauce.
• Let the sauce simmer for about 2 minutes and slowly stir in the cornstarch slurry mixture. Cook until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Add the beef and scallions and toss everything together for another 30 seconds. There should be almost no liquid, as the sauce should be clinging to the beef. If you still have sauce, increase the heat slightly and stir until thickened. Plate and serve with steamed rice!

ASIAN STYLE BEEF ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Season meat with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a Dutch oven over medium high heat, then brown the meat thoroughly on all sides.
• Remove meat to a plate and set aside.
• Add remaining oil to the Dutch oven, and saute the spring onions, garlic and ginger, until the onions have softened.
• Add the soya sauce, half of the cilantro, the chillies and the lemon grass and give it a stir or two.
• Add combined coconut milk and lime juice, and bring to the boil, stirring to incorporate all the crispy bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Return meat and accumulated juices back to the pan, and bring to a simmer.
• Cover tightly, and place in the oven.
• Cook until the meat is fork tender, approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours, making sure you turn the meat every 30 minutes.
• Lift the roast from the sauce, place on a cutting board, cover loosely with foil and let stand 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, strain the sauce (I choose not to), then reduce over high heat if you prefer a thicker consistency.
• Carve the meat into thin slices, return to the sauce with the remainder of the chopped cilantro, and heat through gently before serving.
