Asian Stir-Fry Topper
1/2 cup chicken broth 1 tablespoon soy sauce, low sodium 2 teaspoons cornstarch 2 teaspoons ginger root -- grated 1 teaspoon peanut butter 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes -- crushed 1 teaspoon sesame oil 3/4 pound sirloin steak -- thinly sliced 1 1/2 cups snow peas -- julienned 1 cup scallions -- coarsely chopped 1 teaspoon sesame seeds 4 large baking potatoes -- baked In a small bowl, combine the broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, gingerroot, peanut butter and pepper; mix until the cornstarch is dissolved. Set aside. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Add the steak and cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is no longer pink and browned, 3 to 4 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the beef from the skillet and set aside. Add the snow peas, scallions and sesame seeds to the skillet; stir fry until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Return the beef to the skillet. Stir in the broth mixture, and cook until the meat and vegetables are hot and the sauce has thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Cut open the hot potatoes and top them with the beef-vegetable mixture. |
