Spicy Pineapple Beef Stir-Fry with Habanero Marmalade Glaze

Ingredients (Serves 4)

1.5 lbs. (680g) beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain

3 tbsp. pineapple, red onion, and habanero chili marmalade

2 tbsp. soy sauce

1 tbsp. rice vinegar

1 tbsp. cornstarch

2 tbsp. vegetable oil (divided)

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or canned, drained)

1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

1 tbsp. sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

2 green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Cooked jasmine rice or rice noodles, for serving

Instructions:

Marinate the Beef:

In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with 1 tablespoon of the marmalade, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly and let it marinate for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.

Prepare the Glaze:

In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of marmalade with 1 tablespoon of water to create a glaze. Set aside.

Cook the Beef:

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef to a plate and set aside.

Stir-Fry the Vegetables:

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the red bell pepper, pineapple chunks, and zucchini. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Combine and Glaze:

Return the beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the marmalade glaze over the mixture and toss everything together. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens slightly and coats the beef and vegetables evenly.

Serve:

Spoon the stir-fry over cooked jasmine rice or rice noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the sweet, spicy, and savory fusion!
