Beef, Shiitake, & Snow Pea Stir-Fry
 
                You don’t have to travel far to have a little international flare in a meal… try it at home with this beef stir-fry. Chili-garlic sauce really adds some heat, so add slowly to taste, or not at all. Either way you wind up with a flavorful stir-fry for the entire family.
        Ingredients: 
        
1 lb top sirloin steak, cut into 2" long, 1/4" thick slices  
1 tbsp Asian sesame oil  
1 tbsp minced  peeled fresh ginger  
12 oz fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, thickly sliced  
8 oz snow peas  
1 bunch green onions, sliced, divided  
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, divided  
5 tbsp hoisin sauce (in international section of grocery store)  
1-2 tsp chili-garlic sauce (optional, because really adds heat)  
1/4 tsp chinese five-spice powder (in spice section of grocery stores)  
        
Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add ginger and mushrooms; stir-fry until mushrooms are tender, about 3 minutes. Add beef to skillet; stir-fry until beef browns but is still pink in center, about 1 minute. Add snow peas, half of green onions, and half of cilantro; stir-fry 1 minute.
Stir in hoisin, chili-garlic sauce (if using), and five-spice powder; saute until peas are crisp-tender, 1-2 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl. Sprinkle with remaining green onions and cilantro.
Kale slaw makes a nice side with this entree…
