BEEF WITH SNOW PEAS

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sherry, cornstarch, brown sugar and ginger. Add the beef to a separate bowl and pour one-third of the liquid over the top. Save the rest of the liquid. Toss the beef and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a heavy skillet (iron is best) over high heat. Add the snow peas and stir for 45 seconds, getting as much color on them as possible. Remove to a plate.
• Allow the skillet to get very hot again. With tongs, add half the meat mixture, leaving most of the marinade still in the bowl. Spread out the meat as you add it to skillet, but do not stir for a good minute. (You want the meat to get as brown as possible as quickly as possible.) Sprinkle half the scallions over the meat. Flip the meat to the other side and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove to a clean plate.
• Repeat with the other half of the meat, allowing the skillet to get very hot again first. After flipping, add the first plateful of meat, the reserved liquid, the crushed red pepper and snow peas. Stir over high heat for 30 seconds, and then turn off the heat. Check the seasonings and add salt only if it needs it. The mixture will thicken as it sits. Serve immediately over rice.

BEEF WITH SNOW PEAS

Steps:

• Slice meat into thin strips. Cut against the grain, this will make the final product more tender.
• Trim the stem and string off the two ends of each snow pea pod. These remain tough even after cooked.
• Julienne the red pepper.
• Heat the oil over high heat in a wok or very very large frying pan.
• When oil is almost smoking, add bell pepper and meat and stir-fry. Cook in batches if you have too much meat for effective stir-frying. Add soy sauce after adding meat and after oil has come back up to temperature (30 seconds to a minute on high flame).
• While meat is cooking, season with Szechuan seasoning, white pepper, and salt.
• When meat is cooked, remove to a bowl to rest. Use a slotted spoon so that the drippings and oil stay in the wok or frying pan.
• Add trimmed snow peas and cook until they turn vibrant green. Add more sesame oil and/or soy sauce if the pan gets too dry. Check for done-ness - they should have a satisfying crunch. Mushy or soft snow peas are unappealing.
• Turn off heat and combine the peas and meat. Stir to mix and serve hot.
