How to Cook Filet Mignon Crispy Steak Stir-Fry
The thing that really sets this simple recipe apart from basic stir-fry is our secret ingredient: Omaha Steaks Triple-Trimmed Tenderloin Tips. Made from 1-inch pieces of Omaha Steaks famously fork-tender Filet Mignon, aged at least 30 days, and flash-frozen at their peak flavor, these juicy, buttery tips are carved by master butchers and guaranteed to satisfy.
1. Prepare the Stir-Fry Sauce
First, we’re going to make a delicious stir-fry sauce with the sweet, tangy, sticky base of teriyaki. Add your beef stock, duck sauce, rice wine, and sriracha to a medium bowl. Then, in a separate small bowl, combine your teriyaki sauce and cornstarch and whisk until it’s so smooth you can’t see any clumps. Add to the medium bowl, whisk all the ingredients together until well incorporated, and set the bowl aside for later.
2. Get Your Tenderloin Tips Ready
Now it’s time to get to those tender, juicy, Omaha Steaks Triple-Trimmed Tenderloin Tips! After thawing, pat your filet tips dry with a paper towel to make it easier for your seasonings to stick. Then, place them in a medium bowl and level-up their natural flavor by adding kosher salt, black pepper, Chinese five spice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until well incorporated.
Finally, dredge those tasty tenderloin tips in 1/4 cup cornstarch, making sure to cover all sides.
3. Turn Up the Heat
Add 1/2 cup grapeseed oil and 1 teaspoon sesame oil to your wok and bring to a medium-high heat. Then add your coated filet tips and sauté in small batches so they have room to breathe, browning for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
Remove browned tips from your wok and place on paper towel-lined plate.
4. Bring On the Veggies!
Wipe out your wok and add 1/4 cup grapeseed oil. Then return to a medium-high heat and (safely) toss in all those fresh vegetables and a pinch of salt and pepper, which will enhance their natural flavors.
Sauté your vegetables until tender, but still al dente and slightly crisp, for about 1 minute.
5. Bring it All Together
Add that stir-fry sauce we whipped up earlier to your wok of veggies and bring to a boil until thickened. Then add your browned tips and some zesty cilantro back into the wok and toss until coated. Finish it up by seasoning with salt and pepper.
Serve this delicious stir-fry over your steamed rice and break out the chopsticks for an authentic and tasty Chinese takeout experience.
