Garlic scapes appear in many Chinese dishes. If you don't grow garlic or can't buy scapes at a country market, substitute with green onions or green beans. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
1 tablespoon minced gingerroot |
1 teaspoon sesame oil |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1 lb grilling top sirloin steak |
3 cups garlic scapes, 1 inch pieces |
1 small hot red pepper |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup beef stock |
Directions:
1. Whisk first 6 ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Slice beef across the grain into thin strips, add to bowl& toss to coat; let stand for 15 minutes.
3. Cook garlic scapes in a pot of boiling salted water until tender-crisp, about 2 minutes; drain& refresh under cold water.
4. Drain again, pat dry& set aside.
5. Wearing rubber gloves, cut hot pepper in half lengthwise, deseed& finely slice.
6. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a wok or deep skillet over high heat.
7. Stir fry beef in batches, using remaining oil as necessary, until browned but still pink inside, about 2 minutes; transfer to a bowl.
8. Stir fry hot pepper& salt for 1 minute; return beef, any accumulated juices, scapes& stock to wok and stir fry until hot, about a minute.
