Honey Hoisin Beef Recipes

HONEY HOISIN BEEF

Steps:

• Wash and dry all produce. Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a small pot. Trim bottom root ends from bok choy and discard. Cut head in half lengthwise, then slice crosswise into strips. Trim, then thinly slice scallions, keeping greens and whites separate. Peel, then mince ginger until you have 2 TBSP. Mince garlic.
• Once water is boiling, add rice to pot. Cover, lower heat, and reduce to a simmer. Cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and keep covered until rest of meal is ready.
• Combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, half the ginger, and half the garlic in a medium bowl. Add beef and toss to coat. TIP: If you have extra time, let beef marinate for up to 3 hours in the refrigerator.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add beef to pan, leaving excess marinade in bowl. Cook, tossing occasionally, until browned and almost cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
• Add scallion whites, remaining ginger, remaining garlic, and another drizzle of oil to same pan over medium heat. Cook, tossing, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add bok choy and cook, tossing, until tender, 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Return beef to pan along with marinade from bowl. Let bubble until a thick sauce has formed, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide rice between plates. Top with stir-fry. Sprinkle with scallion greens and sesame seeds and serve.

HOISIN-GLAZED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef all over with salt and a generous amount of pepper. Add the oil to the skillet and heat until shimmering, then sear the beef on all sides until it is a mahogany brown, about 8 minutes in all (any longer and you're cooking the beef too much, that may have been why my roast came out almost medium, instead of medium-rare).
• Transfer the roast to a shallow roasting pan. Don't clean out the skillet! Leave everything in the skillet as you'll need it for the mushrooms.
• Brush the tenderloin all over with the hoisin sauce, just bathe the thing with the sauce. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 125° for medium-rare, about 30-40 minutes. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Let it rest while you do the mushrooms.
• Heat the skillet (that you saved) over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and the scallion WHITES, garlic, ginger, the 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and red pepper flakes and cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Add the scallion greens and sherry (or rice wine) and cook until almost all the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes.
• Slice the roast and serve with the mushroom mixture.
• **I think this would also be good with a mixture of different mushrooms, especially wild mushrooms.

HOISIN-HONEY BEEF WITH COUSCOUS

Steps:

• Cut steak across the grain in bite sized strips. Place in a large bowl and stir in the Honey, Hoisin, Garlic, and Ginger and let it rest.
• Chop pepper into 1 inch chunks and cut green onions into one inch lengths.
• In a medium pan bring broth up to a boil. Salt to taste. Add couscous and carrots. Mix quickly and close tightly and turn off the heat.
• Heat oil in a wok or wide nonstick skillet on high heat. Add sweet pepper and stir fry for one minute then add the green onions for one minute more. Take off heat and remove with a slotted spoon.
• Put wok back on high heat. When hot add the steak mixture and stir fry to desired doneness. I like mine medium. Add the onions and peppers, warm through and coat with honey hoisin mixture.
• Put couscous in bowls and spoon meat mixture over couscous.
• Top with chopped cilantro.

HOISIN BEEF (BRISKET)

Steps:

• Two hours before roasting the brisket; rub the vinegar over all sides of the meat, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
• Preheat oven to 325F; line roasting pan with aluminum foil. Score top and bottom of meat with diagonal cuts, creating one inch diamond marks. Mix together the ginger, white pepper and salt; rub on both sides of meat. Place meat in pan and roast for 15 minutes.
• Mix together sauce, garlic and onion; turn meat over in pan, baste top and sides of meat with sauce mixture making sure to get sauce into score marks. Return to oven for 30 minutes; turn over meat, baste and roast for another 30 minutes for medium-rare. For medium; repeat turn and baste process, roast for 30 minutes more. For medium-well; repeat turn and baste process, roast for 30 minutes more.
• Remove meat to cutting board; rest for 5 minutes before slicing; spoon sauce from roasting pan over meat. Serve with fried rice; when making rice, add one teaspoon of Hoisin sauce for every three servings to boost the flavor.
