• Heat a very large skillet or wok over high heat until screaming hot, about 5 minutes. Add oil. Toss in onion and the scallion bottoms. Cook, tossing occasionally, until vegetables are lightly charred but still crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Add lamb and chiles to skillet. Cook, tossing quickly, until meat begins to brown. Add garlic, soy sauce and sherry. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated and lamb is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Toss in onions and scallion bottoms. Remove from heat and mix in cilantro and scallion greens.

CUMIN BEEF STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Season the steak with salt and pepper. Finely grind 2 teaspoons cumin seeds in a spice grinder (or grind them with the bottom of a skillet). Toss the steak with the ground cumin, soy sauce, sesame oil and sugar in a large bowl; let sit 10 minutes. Meanwhile, chop the bell pepper, slice the chile into very thin rounds and cut the scallions into 1-inch pieces.
• Preheat a large skillet or wok over high heat until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, then add the bell pepper, chile, scallions and a pinch of salt. Cook, undisturbed, until the vegetables are charred in spots, about 2 minutes. Toss a few times and continue cooking until crisp-tender, about 1 more minute; remove to a large plate.
• Add the remaining 1 teaspoon vegetable oil to the skillet, then add the steak, spreading it out in an even layer. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 teaspoons whole cumin seeds and cook, undisturbed, until the steak is crisp around the edges and charred in spots, 3 to 5 minutes. Toss a few times and continue cooking until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain off any fat from the skillet, then return the vegetables to the pan along with half the cilantro; toss. Serve over the rice and top with the remaining cilantro.
