Szechuan Steak

We love this one. One word of advice though, cut and prepare everything before you start stir frying, because once you start it goes really fast.

1 lb steak (any kind) sliced thin, 1-2" long pieces
8 oz fresh sugar snap peas
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup water
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp cornstarch
1/3 cup cilantro chopped
2 Tbs dry roasted peanuts chopped

Heat oil in skillet (med-high heat). Add peas and stir-fry 2 minutes. Remove and put aside on a plate. Add beef, garlic, and pepper to skillet. Stir fry until meat is brown. Combine soy, water, sugar, and starch in a bowl. Return peas to skillet and toss with meat. Add soy mixture and stir fry until thick. Remove from heat and serve over steamed rice. Top with cilantro and peanuts.
