SPICY MINT BEEF
Just saw Giada make this on Food Networ, and it looked SO good! After reading some of the reviews on the other site, I might suggest starting with only 2 chiles and 1 teaspoon of the chili paste unless you like things really hot.The asterisk means it can be found at specialty Asian markets Posted for ZWT6.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Flank steak or skirt steak are good choices for this recipe because they are both relatively thin and cook quickly. You can also use other cuts of beef, such as top sirloin or tenderloin, but you may need to adjust the cooking time.
- Slice the beef against the grain: This will help the beef to cook more evenly and prevent it from becoming tough.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor.
- Cook the beef over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the beef and lock in the juices.
- Don't overcook the beef: Beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Serve the beef immediately: Spicy mint beef is best served hot off the grill or stovetop.
Conclusion:
Spicy mint beef is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The combination of spicy and minty flavors is unique and refreshing, and the beef is cooked to perfection. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
