I don't think I need to mention The Man of the House's dislike for food of "Asian descent" again.
But for those of you who have missed it, someone thinks that any amount, 1/16 of a teaspoon even, makes food "Chinese." Uhhh.... NO!
See what I have to live with?
Well let me put your minds to ease, this can be adjusted to suit your tastes. Add more soy sauce if you like that flavor. Yes, do it! It will make him red with anger, white with horror and green with nausea!
(But if you are more like "you know who" just sub out the soy sauce with a sauce of your choice.)
Beef with Snow Peas
adapted from PW
Serves: 4
1 lb Flank Steak, sliced thin against grain
2 tbsp Soy Sauce
1/4 c Worschtesire Sauce
1 1/2 tbsp Cooking Wine
1 tbsp Brown Sugar
1 tbsp Cornstarch
1 tbsp Fresh Minced Ginger
8 oz Snow Peas, edges trimmed
1/4 c Green Onions, chopped
1 1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
Jasmine Rice or Noodles, for serving
In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, worschtesire sauce, wine, brown sugar, cornstarch, and ginger. Add sliced meat to bowl and toss with hands. Set aside.
Heat oil in a heavy skillet or wok over high heat. Add snow peas and stir for 45 seconds. Remove to a separate plate. Set aside.
Allow pan to get very hot again. With tongs, add half the meat mixture, leaving most of the marinade still in the bowl. Add half thegreen onion. Spread out meat, but do not stir for a good minute.We are are charring here, baby! Turn meat to the other side and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove to a clean plate.
Repeat with other half of meat, allowing pan to get very hot again first. After turning it, add the first plateful of meat, the rest of the marinade, and the snow peas. Stir over high heat for 30 seconds, then turn off heat. Check seasonings. Mixture will thicken as it sits.
Serve immediately over rice or noodles. Sprinkle crushed red pepper over the top to give it some heat.
If you really want to be cool, serve this in those hip take-out style boxes!
