I had earlier on in my blog posted that I am not a fun of spinach or any dark greens for that matter apart from Kale( sukuma wiki). Well this is one of the recipes that are weaning me into eating spinach, I still can not eat them by themselves but I guess as long as they get into my mouth and eventually my stomach that should count right???? I loved the chilli flavour in this dish and also the fact that I made it in less than 20 mins. I also had this on its own with no accompaniment and I really enjoyed it, I think it would go great tho with either rice or Ugali (Kenyan meal made out of maize meal). HAPPY COOKING!
SERVES4
INGREDIENTS
- 1 tablespoon of peanut/Sesame oil (this is great for stir fry’s coz it has a high smoke point but if you don’t have regular vegetable or olive oil is fine)
- 400g beef fillet/steak, thinly sliced
- 2 small fresh chillies
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 bunch of spinach, chopped
- 2 teaspoons teriyaki sauce ( when I don’t have this I mix soy sauce with just a bit of brown sugar)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon corn flour
- ½ teaspoon beef stock powder (such as royko)
- ¼ cup (60ml) water
METHOD
- Combine beef, oil, chillies and garlic in a bowl and marinate for at least 20 mins (This is optional but adds to the flavour in the meat the longer the better)
- Heat oil in wok
- Add combined beef, oil, chillies and garlic in batches
- Stir fry until beef is tender
- Add spinach, sauce and sugar
- Add blended corn flour, stock powder and water
- Stir until sauce boils and thickens
