This was a combination of Chinese/Thai flavours. Initially, the marinade was made with a typical Chinese style marinade. But then, I decided to turn the meal into a more Thai flavour influence - and it turned out great. Leftovers the next day were even better.
Marinade:
1 lb. sirloin strips
3 cloves garlic, sliced
3 Tblsp. Gluten Free Soy Sauce
3 Tblsp. water
few splashes sesame oil
1 Tblsp. Rice wine vinegar, or white vinegar
2 Tblsp. Avocado oil
Vegetables:
1/2 cups broccoli florets, 1/2 cup stems, chopped
3 crimini mushrooms sliced and cut in half
1/2 a green pepper, sliced into lengthwise strips, and cut in half
1 shallot, sliced
Thai Sauce:
4 Tblsp. Red Thai Curry Paste
3 Tblsp. peanut butter
1 cup vegetable of beef broth
2 Tblsp. corn starch - mix separately in a bowl with 2 Tblsp. Vegetable stock
chopped cilantro
Make up the marinade, and slice the sirloin rounds into strips. Add to marinade and refrigerate 4-6 hours.
Add the Thai sauce ingredients to a bowl and whisk well and put aside until ready to use. Don't worry if some of the peanut butter stays a bit clumpy - it will melt once added to the hot pan.
Heat up a cast iron pan or wok with the avocado oil, on medium high heat - on my electric stove I put it at 6.5 mark. Remove the marinated sirloin strips and add to the pan. Continually stir the sirloin, it will only take about 3 minutes to cook, then remove to a bowl and set aside.
To the drippings add in the mushrooms, and shallot. Turn the heat to medium and saute about 6-7 minutes. Then add in the broccoli and green pepper, continue to saute another 5 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth, lid on and simmer until the broccoli is tender - 3-5 minutes. Remove the lid and saute to reduce some of the liquid. Then pour in the Thai sauce mixture stirring and add in the cornstarch mixture - it will thicken quickly. If it gets too thick add a bit more vegetable stock to get to a nice consistency. Return the cooked sirloin strips, and saute to lightly re heat through.
Serve with cooked rice, and top with fresh chopped cilantro.
