Making Family-Style Dinner For Double Date Paint Night

This was a week of family and friends – and it might be the most social week I’ve had for a while! In fact, I’ve been really enjoying hosting small get together dinners for all of my loved ones.

Today, I invited my friends over for a Paint Your Partner double date night and a family-style Asian dinner. I made a garlic smashed cucumber salad, this Sizzling Black Pepper Beef Stir Fry and a Thai Inspired Four Season Scallion Basil Pork. For 4 people, this was plenty of delicious food!

What Beef Cut To Use For Steak Stir Fry

I like using Angus Beef Chuck Flat steak for my beef stir fry, but I also recommend sirloin, New York, tenderloin, or rib-eye. These cuts have more marbling and fat, so the beef will be more tender. But, the true pro-tip for tender beef is actually how you cut it! If you follow these steps, the slices of beef will turn out perfect every time – no matter what cut you get:

1. Freeze the beef for 30 minutes before slicing. It’ll be easier to cut – and come out much more beautifully.
2. Always cut the beef against the grain and diagonally.

Velveting Your Beef For Super Tender Steak Stir Fry

My best tip for tasty beef when stir frying is marinating meat before cooking. It’s the easiest way to achieve flavorful, juicy meat in your dishes. My friend who worked at a Chinese restaurant actually has a great tip: adding some baking soda into your marinade.

Today, we’re using a Chinese cooking technique called velveting, where we add egg white, corn starch, and baking soda to make the meat come out tender and velvety. The baking soda tenderizes, while the corn starch and egg white gives it a layer of protection from overcooking. It’s honestly a game-changer!
