Photo: Sweet n Sour Sirloin Stir-Fry with Ranch Mashed Potatoes Recipe
This is an all American twist on traditional Asian style stir fry. The "special sauce" can be thrown together with items we all have on our refrigerator door. Stir things up and try this one out!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pound piece sirloin, 1-inch thick
- 2 pounds Idaho potatoes, peeled and cubed
- Salt
- 3 tablespoons vegetable, peanut or canola oil
- 2 large red bell peppers, seeded and sliced
- 1 large green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
- 1 bunch scallions, cut into 2 to 3-inch pieces on bias, greens and whites
- 2 cups shelled frozen edamame
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/4 cup yellow mustard
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
- Freshly ground black pepper
- A few dashes hot sauce
- Handful fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- Handful fresh dill, chopped
- Handful fresh chives, chopped
Directions
Pop the meat in the freezer for a few minutes to stiffen it up for slicing.
Place potatoes in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil. Salt the water and cook the potatoes until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain.
Halve the steak lengthwise then very thinly slice the meat. Heat the oil in a very large skillet over high heat. When oil wafts smoke and ripples, add the meat and stir-fry until caramelized 3 minutes. Add peppers and stir-fry 2 minutes then add in scallions and edamame for 2 minutes more. Stir together the sugar, soy, mustard and ketchup and pour over stir-fry the last minute of cooking. Season, to taste, if necessary.
Mash potatoes with buttermilk, salt and pepper, hot sauce, parsley, dill, chives, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve with stir-fry on top!

The best part for me is the sweet and sour sauce. It's quick and easy and made from everyday things I have in the cabinet. I love not having to go to the store to buy special ingredients and I can use it on my chicken when I'm in a hurry to make something quick for my kids. Love it!!! Thanks alot Rachel Ray. ;

I didn't have the green pepper or the green onion, so I just used the red pepper, a sweet onion, and 2 cloves of chopped garlic. I also added more brown sugar to the sause because I have a picky eater that loves anything sweet. All in all everyone loved it and my husband has requested it to be a weekly meal.

I personally did not care for this, but my husband loved it. I might make it every couple of months to please him, but I think there are so many better sweet and sour stir fry's out there, especially when you consider the cost of the ingredients. Red Bells where I live can be 1.99 a piece! Also, I could not find edamame so I substituted sugar snap peas.
