Oriental Marinated Beef
A flavorful Asian-inspired beef dish featuring marinated thinly sliced roast beef paired with fresh vegetables and a savory tangy marinade, perfect for casual or special occasions.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Put teriyaki sauce, peanut oil, sesame seed, dry sherry, rice vinegar, and ginger in a jar and shake well.
- Pour the marinade over the thinly sliced roast beef, tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, drained water chestnuts, julienned green pepper, and chopped scallions.
- Marinate the meat alone overnight if desired.
- Mix in the remaining vegetables or combine everything and serve over a lettuce leaf platter.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more intense flavor, marinate the beef for 24 hours instead of overnight. If you don't have teriyaki sauce, a mix of soy sauce and a bit of honey can work as a substitute. Consider using flank steak for a tender cut or even chicken or tofu for a different protein. Sesame oil can replace peanut oil if you have nut allergies.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Oriental Marinated Beef over a bed of crisp lettuce leaves for a refreshing crunch. It pairs beautifully with rice or noodles for a complete meal. For added flavor, garnish with extra sesame seeds and serve alongside steamed vegetables or a light salad. This dish is also great for meal prep and can be enjoyed cold in wraps.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover marinated beef in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, gently warm it in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, or microwave in short intervals to avoid overcooking the beef. Adding a splash of water or broth can help retain moisture during reheating.
