I frequently fix a stir fry, so I was interested in how Ellie Krieger’s emerald stir fry would be received. It was certainly a hit! This says it makes 4 servings, but it made a couple of extras for our house. It was great warmed over at lunch. I think the addition of some matchstick carrots would add additional color and texture. I also think I will try this with chicken breast the next time. Go check out what others had to say at Craving Ellie in My Belly.Ingredients
- 1/4 cup mirin or semisweet white wine, like Riesling
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 8 ounces beef round tip steak, sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups fresh snow peas (6 ounces)
- 1 large bunch broccoli (1 1/4 pounds) trimmed and cut into small florets
- 1 bunch asparagus (1 pound), trimmed and sliced on diagonal into 2-inch pieces
- 2 cups (8 ounces) frozen shelled edamame
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Directions
Combine mirin or white wine, orange juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes and water in a small bowl.In a large wok or very large (14-inch) saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, stirring, until just browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer the beef to a plate. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium heat and cook garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add snow peas, broccoli, asparagus and edamame, raise heat to medium-high, and cook for 3 minutes until vegetables are slightly softened. Add the mirin-soy mixture and cook, stirring, until edamame are cooked and asparagus is crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Add the beef and dissolved cornstarch and stir to incorporate. Cook until mixture thickens slightly and beef is heated through, an additional 2 minutes. Drizzle with sesame oil and serve.
We’re seeing lots of this sign these days. I’m home today because of a POTENTIAL ice storm. It’s okay with me if it just passes right on through and doesn’t linger for an extended visit. My daffodils and tulips are up about six inches…stay tuned for the annual Daffodil and Snow Tire Festival:)

Debbie, I hope that storm passes you by, but it sounds like you’ve cooked up something good to have just in case the weather turns cold.
Happy Foodie Friday…
XO,
Sheila 🙂
This looks and sounds delicious, but I’m going to go with your idea of substituting chicken and adding carrots. I love lots of veggies in my stir frys. Thanks for sharing this recipe, it looks like a keeper!
Oh yummmmmm. I love most anything stir fry and this sounds wonderful. This one I will try..thanks for the recipe.
I was surprised to see that this recipe was only listed as having 4 servings – we ate two generous portions and there was still three to four servings left. All those veggies are very filling!
That stir fry does look very good…
Stay warm, hope the flowers survive
I think the carrots will make a great addition. Lately, I’ve been throwing bok choy into all my Asian dishes. I do like the addition of mirin to my stir fry as well. Hope that ice storm passes you by; we’re in the deep freeze here in NY.
Debbie, I hope you don’t get that storm. I well remember ice storms in Arkansas and they were miserable.
Your stir-fry sounds terrific. I agree some carrots would be good in it.

Hi Debbie!
Thank-you for helping Colette!
This stir-fry looks great–I will try it with vegetarian strips!
Thanks AGAIN!
It’s been a while since I’ve made stir-fry…I just kinda wing it. I’m happy to have an actual recipe. It looks delicious.
I have been wanting to try this emerald stir fry. The name of the recipe sounds so appealing, doesn’t it? Glad to hear that you liked it, it certainly looks beautiful!
