Stir-Fried Beef Top Sirloin with Ginger, Garlic, Chiles, and Bok Choy with Rice

• For the Beef:
  • 1 ½ pounds beef top sirloin steaks (about ½ inch thick), Omaha Steaks
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sake
  • 1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• For the Rice:
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • Pinch of salt
• For the Stir-Fry:
  • 1 pound bok choy
  • 3 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 1 tablespoon roasted sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons peeled and minced fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon minced red jalapeno chile, or red serranos
  • 3 scallions, finely sliced

1. Cut the beef into 2 x ¼ inch strips and place in a mixing bowl.
2. Add the soy sauce, sake, fish sauce, and cornstarch, stirring to combine.
3. Marinate the beef in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, prepare the rice:
   1. Place the rice, 2 ¼ cups water, and the salt in a saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
   2. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a simmer.
   3. Stir once, cover, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid.
   4. Remove from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes.
   5. Fluff with a fork and season with salt before serving.
5. While the rice is cooking, prepare the stir-fry:
   1. Cut the bottom (stem end) and the outer leaves off the bok choy and discard.
   2. Cut the leaves lengthwise and then crosswise into 1-inch pieces.
   3. Heat the peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat.
   4. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the beef from the bowl, add it to the wok and stir-fry for 1 minute, until just browned. (To avoid overcrowding the wok, you may wish to do this in two or three batches.)
   5. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
   6. Add the sesame oil to the wok.
   7. When the oil is hot, add the ginger, garlic, and jalapeno, and stir-fry over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
   8. Add the bok choy and scallions, and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the stems begin to soften.
6. Reduce the heat to medium, pour in any remaining marinade, add the reserved stir-fry beef along with any juices that have been released from the meat, and toss gently to heat through.
7. Make sure the marinade cooks for 2 to 3 minutes.
8. Season with more soy sauce to taste and serve immediately with the rice.
