Thai Peanut Beef
These tasty, melt-in-your-mouth-tender beef strips are sautéed in a creamy 5-ingredient peanut sauce!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank or Skirt Steak thinly sliced across the grain
- 2-3 teaspoons oil
Sauce
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha hot sauce
- ¼ cup peanuts chopped, optional
- 3-4 tablespoons water, to thin if needed
Instructions
- Whisk together all sauce ingredients excluding peanuts. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time until sauce is a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Add oil to large pan or skillet and heat over medium high heat until hot. Add beef strips and cook 8-10 minutes, stirring throughout to ensure even cooking.
- When beef has browned around edges and cooked to desired doneness. Add 1/2 of the sauce to the pan. Stir and cook 1-2 minutes longer. Top with remaining sauce and chopped peanuts. Garnish with sliced green onions or cilantro if desired and serve.
Notes
If using more than 1 pound beef, double the sauce recipe.
Alternative cooking option: if you prefer your steak cooked medium or rare, sear steak whole (not sliced) for 5-8 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to desired doneness. (145°F for medium rare, 160°F for medium) Thinly slice, return to pan with the sauce and saute 1-2 minutes.
