21 - 1/4 cup scallions, sliced
# How to Make It:
01 - Combine sliced beef with olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Toss thoroughly to coat and set aside to marinate while preparing vegetables and sauce.
02 - Whisk together Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and cumin in a separate bowl until sugar dissolves completely.
03 - Heat the Blackstone griddle or large flat-top grill over medium-high heat until evenly hot.
04 - Add a drizzle of oil to the griddle and cook quartered baby potatoes for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally until golden and nearly cooked through. Push to one side of the griddle.
05 - Spread marinated beef across the griddle. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and just cooked through. Remove from heat and tent with foil to keep warm.
06 - Add all vegetables except jalapeño to the griddle. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables reach crisp-tender consistency.
07 - Add jalapeño if using, then return beef and potatoes to the griddle. Pour sauce over everything and toss well to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until heated through and sauce caramelizes in spots.
08 - Transfer to serving plates and garnish generously with chopped cilantro or parsley and sliced scallions. Serve immediately while hot.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Everything cooks in one glorious mess on the griddle, minimal cleanup and maximum flavor development
- That high-heat sear creates caramelization you just cannot achieve indoors
02 -
- Do not overcrowd the griddle or the beef will steam instead of sear, work in batches if necessary
- Have all your ingredients prepped and ready before you fire up that griddle because once you start cooking, it moves fast
03 -
- Freeze the beef for 30 minutes before slicing to get those thin, even strips easily
- Let the griddle get properly hot before adding any ingredients, you should hear that satisfying sizzle immediately
