Our taste test panel couldn't wait to try this stir-fry from Janet Lowe of Kennewick, Washington. The flavor is very similar to restaurant-style dishes. A pleasant peanut sauce coats the meat and vegetables, giving the entree Thai flair. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
3/4 cup water |
2 tablespoons plus 1-1/2 teaspoons chunky peanut butter |
4 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce, divided |
1-1/2 pounds beef top sirloin steak, thinly sliced |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 each medium green, sweet red and yellow pepper, julienned |
1 can (8 ounces) bamboo shoots, drained |
1/2 cup julienned carrot |
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
1-1/2 teaspoons minced garlic |
hot cooked rice |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Stir in peanut butter and 3 tablespoons soy sauce; set aside.
2. In a large skillet or wok, stir-fry the beef, pepper and remaining soy sauce in oil until meat is no longer pink; remove and keep warm. Add the peppers, bamboo shoots, carrot and pepper flakes; stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
3. Stir cornstarch mixture and add to the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Return beef mixture to the pan. Serve with rice. Yield: 6 servings.
