Gingered Flank Steak with Snow Peas

Flank steak, frequently thought of as a less costly cut of beef, is not as expensive as some loin cuts. But it is by no means a rock-bottom bargain, either -- the cost per pound is likely to be double that of any other meat suggested in this book! However, flank steak is lean and boneless, and delicious in a stir-fry dish such as this. (If you prefer to use a less expensive cut, substitute an equal weight of boneless chuck, using the flatiron muscle atop the blade bone.) Serve with rice.

Amount Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
   1      pound         flank steak
     1/3 cup           water
   2 1/2 teaspoons     cornstarch
   2      tablespoons   dry sherry
     1/4 cup           soy sauce
     1/2 teaspoon      ground ginger
   1      clove         garlic -- minced
   3      tablespoons   salad oil
     1/2 pound         mushrooms -- sliced
     1/2 pound         snow peas

1. Slice flank steak diagonally into thin strips about 1 inch wide and 2 inches long. In a small bowl mix water, cornstarch, sherry, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic until corn starch dissolves.

2. In a large frying pan or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over high heat; in it brown beef strips quickly on both sides, about half at a time, removing them as soon as they brown.

3. When all the beef is browned and removed from pan, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. In it brown mushrooms lightly, stirring; mix in peas, stirring until bright green. Add seasoned cornstarch liquid and cook, stirring, until thickened and clear. Return beef strips to pan and cook just until heated through. Serve immediately.
