Sesame-Soy Steak Stir-Fry in Wonton Cups1 1/2 pounds shoulder top blade (flat iron) steaks
Marinated Cucumbers (see recipe)
Toasted Sesame Seeds (see recipe)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
12 frozen wonton wrappers, thawed
1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
Marinade:
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1. Prepare Marinated Cucumbers and Toasted Sesame Seeds. 2. Cut beef steak lengthwise in half, then crosswise into 1/4 inch strips; set aside. Combine Sesame-Soy Marinade ingredients in medium bowl. Place beef strips and marinade in food-safe plastic bag; toss to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes. 3. Meanwhile heat 1/2 cup oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Fry 3 wonton wrappers 15 seconds per side or until crispy; drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining wonton wrappers. 4. Remove beef strips from marinade; discard marinade. Heat pan over medium heat until hot. Add 1/2 of beef; stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes or until outside surface of beef is no longer pink. (Do not overcook.) Repeat with remaining beef. Evenly divide beef strips over wonton crisps; top beef with 1 tablespoon Marinated Cucumbers and 1/2 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Seeds. Garnish plate with red bell pepper strips, if desired.
