However, with the right recipe and a few clever techniques, you can whip up a delicious and tender beef dish in just 5 minutes. This recipe not only promises a mouth-watering meal but also ensures that your beef is perfectly tender, using ingredients like baking soda to tenderize the meat quickly. Here’s how to make tender beef in 5 minutes, using simple ingredients and a quick cooking method.
Ingredients:
Beef: 500g/1 pound, thinly sliced
Tenderizing Agent: 1 tsp baking soda
Vegetables: 1 onion (sliced), 1/2 red bell pepper (sliced), 1/2 green bell pepper (sliced)
Butter: 1 tbsp
For the Sauce:
1 big clove garlic (minced) or 2 small cloves
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp chili sauce
Instructions:
1. Tenderize the Beef:
Start by placing your thinly sliced beef in a bowl. Sprinkle 1 tsp of baking soda evenly over the beef. Gently massage the baking soda into the beef, ensuring each piece is coated. Let it sit for about 5 minutes. This process breaks down the tough muscle fibers, resulting in tender meat.
2. Prepare the Sauce:
In a separate bowl, combine 1 minced garlic clove (or 2, if they’re small), 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 2 tbsp olive oil, and 1 tbsp chili sauce. Mix well until all the ingredients are well incorporated. This sauce will add a rich, tangy, and slightly spicy flavor to the beef.
