Chili Beef Stir-Fry with Scallions and Snow Peas
- 2 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons mirin or sherry
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 pound flank steak, trimmed and frozen briefly
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 6 scallions, ends trimmed and thinly sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 12 ounces snow peas
- Whisk the chili-garlic sauce, soy sauce, mirin, honey, sesame oil, and cornstarch together in a small bowl and set aside.
- Cut the beef lengthwise along the grain into 3 or 4 (2-inch) wide pieces.
- Slice each piece of beef across the grain into paper thin pieces, about 1/8-inch thick.
- Pat the beef dry and season well with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over high heat just until smoking.
- Add the beef and cook, stirring rarely, until well browned, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Remove to a plate.
- Return the skillet to the stove over medium-low heat.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, half of the scallions, the garlic, and the ginger, and cook until just fragrant and starting to color, about 30 seconds.
- Stir in the snow peas, and cook, stirring occasionally, until bright green, about 2 minutes.
- Whisk in the chili-garlic sauce mixture, then remove the pan from the heat, and add the beef and accumulated juices.
- Toss to coat and transfer to a serving platter.
- Serve immediately sprinkled with remaining scallions.
