STIR-FRIED BEEF AND SUGAR SNAP PEAS
Here's a stir-fry far better than most take-out Chinese, and you can make it with any lean cut of meat - flank steak, London broil, tenderloin, sirloin or skirt steak - so long as it is cut thin against the grain. Most takeout joints use snow peas, but sugar snaps are juicier and more succulent, and just as crunchy. (Their downside is that they are slightly more work: they need to be thinly sliced.) As for the sauce, it's simple: thick dark soy sauce (tamari works well), sesame oil, chicken broth and Madeira.

Tips:
- Choose the right flank steak: Look for a steak that is about 1 inch thick and has a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that the steak is tender and flavorful.
- Marinade the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs, or a more complex marinade with ingredients like soy sauce, brown sugar, and ginger.
- Cook the steak over high heat: Flank steak is best cooked over high heat so that it can quickly sear on the outside and remain tender on the inside. You can cook the steak in a skillet, on a grill, or even in a wok.

- Serve the steak with a variety of vegetables: Flank steak is a great choice for a stir-fry, as it cooks quickly and pairs well with a variety of vegetables. Some good options include snap peas, asparagus, broccoli, and bell peppers.
