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.

ASIAN BEEF WITH MUSHROOMS & SNOW PEAS

Steps:

• Combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl - whisk to combine. Set aside.
• Bring water in a medium pan to boil. Add snow peas, boil them for 5 minutes, drain. Set aside.
• Heat a large skillet until hot, add 2 tablespoons olive oil - it should sizzle.
• Immediately add thinly sliced mushrooms - cook them on high heat, turning occasionally, until they brown nicely. Salt them midway, just a little bit. Do not add too much salt, as you will be adding tamari sauce later.
• Remove mushrooms to a bowl.
• To the same skillet, on high heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, which will sizzle right away. Immediately add thinly sliced meat.
• Note: You might want to do this in 2 batches. You will want each slice of beef to touch the bottom of the skillet and for meat slices not to be crowded. This will ensure that beef will brown on high heat.
• Cook beef on one side until it browns nicely.
• Turn over all beef slices to the opposite side, and cook more, on high heat, until all slices brown nicely. Remove this batch to a bowl.
• Add the second batch of beef, and repeat.
• Return all of the cooked beef slices back to the skillet.
• Add the snow peas and cooked mushrooms, then the Asian sauce.
• Stir everything to combine on high heat, for about 1 minute. Turn off heat. Cover the skillet with a lid.

Steps:

• For the rice: To a small saucepan, add the rice and 2 cups of water. Place the pan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the rice is tender, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, combine the skirt steak and 2 tablespoons soy sauce in a medium bowl and toss to combine. Chill for 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, mix 1/2 cup cornstarch with salt and pepper to taste. Toss the skirt steak in the cornstarch mixture and coat well. Transfer the coated meat to a fine sieve and knock off any excess cornstarch.
• Heat 1 cup canola oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add half of the beef in a single layer and cook without stirring for 2 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes longer; transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining skirt steak. Carefully discard the hot oil and wipe the skillet clean.
• To a small bowl, add the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, mirin, red wine vinegar, ginger, crushed red pepper, garlic and remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Mix to combine.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the snow peas and cook for 2 minutes. Add the garlic-ginger sauce and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute until the liquid starts to thicken. Add the crispy skirt steak and toss until fully coated. If the sauce looks too thick, you can add 1/4 cup water to thin it out. Serve over rice and garnish with scallion greens.

BEEF, BROCCOLI, AND SNOW PEA STIR FRY

Steps:

• Thinly slice the sirloin steak (and if you are having trouble slicing it thinly, pop it into the freezer for 15 minutes, then slice). Toss the beef with the cornstarch, soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil, and let it sit while you prep the veggies.
• Cut the broccoli head into evenly sized florets.
• Wash the broccoli and snow peas, and make sure you dry them very thoroughly either in a salad spinner or with a towel. If there's excess water, you will end up steaming your stir fry and it will likely be mushy.
• Heat up a wok or skillet over medium high heat, and test it for heat by adding a few drops of water. If they sizzle and burn up immediately, the pan is hot enough.
• Add the marinated beef. Toss frequently for a couple minutes until the beef slices are cooked, then remove the beef to a big bowl.
• Add the vegetable oil to the pan, and toss in the garlic and red pepper flakes. Immediately add the broccoli and cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes until the broccoli is bright green, and still crisp, but slightly tender. Remove the broccoli to the same bowl that contains the beef.
• Add the snow peas to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, until slightly tender but mostly crisp, then add in the reserved cooked beef and broccoli and stir it all together for 1 minute. The stir fry is now ready! Enjoy with rice or noodles if desired.

Transfer scallops to a bowl with a slotted spoon, reserving cooking liquid.

• Drain shrimp, discarding any blemished or dark pieces, and chop very finely.
