Beefy Stir Fry

SERVES: 6

COOK TIME: 10 Min

Why order take-out when you can save time by stir frying a few things from your vegetable drawer with a couple pantry staples, and have dinner on the table in minutes? (Oh, you save another way, too, with no driver to tip!)

What You'll Need

1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 1/2 pound beef flank steak, cut into thin strips
1/2 pound fresh snow peas
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch strips
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
3 tablespoons light soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds (see Tip)

What to Do

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add steak strips; saute 2 to 3 minutes, or until browned. Remove steak; set aside.
Add snow peas, bell pepper, garlic, and ginger to skillet; saute 4 to 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
Add soy sauce, black pepper, and sesame seeds to skillet; return steak to skillet. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes, stirring until completely mixed and heated through.

Notes

Toast the sesame seeds by placing them in a small nonstick skillet over low heat 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden, turning frequently. Just watch them carefully. It's as easy as 1-2-3!

Made this dish for dinner last night, combining this Beefy Stir Fry with Mr. Food's Asian Pepper Steak, and the result was fabulous! The pepper steak recipe contributed beef broth, soy sauce, ginger and cornstarch for a very flavorful sauce, and scallions for an added layer of flavor and texture. The Stir Fry recipe contributed toasted sesame oil (Mmmmm!), flank steak for the protein, and toasted sesame seeds, along with the peppers and peas. Didn't have any snow peas on hand, so used sugar snap peas (I can't tell the difference.) Served with rice noodles in a light garlic sauce, and an Asian beer. Mr. Food, you've done it again! Thanks!
