1
pound lean, boneless steak; any cut will do Cut beef against the grain into 1/4" wide slices, each slice about 2" long. Place meat in plastic freezer bag, combine with soy sauce, and marinate for at least 30 minutes; 12 hours is better.
Left: This beef has been marinated for 24 hours. Right: Here's a photo of the cooking sauce that I use for Beef and Bok Choy, and many other stir-fry dishes that feature steak. Prepare cooking sauce, according to my recipe by following this link, and set aside for futher use. Meanwhile, cut bok choy leaves from the stems. The stems are the coarse, white, lower portion of the bok choy, and they contain many veins, and look similar to celery. Cut stems diagonally into 1/2-inch slices. Coarsely shred bok choy leaves. Place cut stems and leaves into two piles, as they will be cooked in different sequences. You should have about 8 cups total of lightly packed stems and seeds. Heat your electric wok to 275 degrees. If you have a stove top wok, place it over a burner on medium heat. When wok is hot, add sesame seeds, if used, and stir until golden brown; about 2 minutes. Remove seeds from wok and reserve.
Left: Chopped bok choy stems are being stir-fried in the wok using peanut oil. Right: Now it's the beef's turn to get stir-fried. Increase heat to 350 degrees. Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the wok. When oil is hot, add garlic and bok choy stems. Stir-fry for about a minutes. Add 1/4 cup of water, cover and cook for 2 minutes. Add bok choy leaves and cook, uncovered, stirring as needed, until leaves and stems become barely tender; about 2 minutes. Remove from wok and reserve. Pour 2 tablespoons peanut into wok. Add marinated meat and stir-fry until browned on all sides; about 1-1/2 to 2 minutes. Add cooked bok choy to wok, stir in cooking sauce and finally add toasted sesame seeds. Cook, stirring constantly until sauce boils and thickens. Serve immediately.
