This is inspired by a hot pepper beef recipe by Grace Young. Ingredients:
1 pound sirloin strip steak, cut into thin strips |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
2 teaspoons cold water |
2 teaspoons lite soy sauce |
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil |
2 tablespoons dry white wine |
2 tablespoons hot water |
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided |
1 medium-size sweet onion, halved and sliced |
12 ounces fresh sugar snap peas |
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger |
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper |
16 ounces watermelon, rind removed and cut into sticks (about 2 cups) |
2 cups hot cooked rice |
Directions:
1. Toss together first 6 ingredients and 1 Tbsp. wine. Let stand 30 minutes. Meanwhile, stir together hot water, hoisin, and remaining 1 Tbsp. wine.
2. Remove beef from marinade, discarding marinade. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper; cook half of beef in 1 1/2 tsp. hot canola oil in a large skillet over high heat, without stirring, 45 seconds or until browned; turn beef, and cook 30 seconds or until browned. Transfer to a warm plate. Repeat with remaining 1 1/2 tsp. oil and beef.
3. Stir-fry onion in remaining 1 Tbsp. hot canola oil in skillet over medium-high heat 2 minutes or until tender. Add sugar snap peas, ginger, and crushed red pepper; stir-fry 2 minutes. Add beef and hoisin mixture; stir-fry 1 minute or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in watermelon. Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper to taste. Serve immediately with hot cooked rice.
