Szechuan Steak

Approximate Time: 30 minutes
servings: 4

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

Directions
Heat oil in wok or skillet. Add peas and stir fry 2 minutes. Remove to plate and add beef, garlic, and pepper. Stir fry until meat is brown. Combine soy sauce, water, sugar, and starch in a bowl. Return peas to pan 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.

*This was a quick simple meal and quite good. It doesn't make as much sauce as I would like though so I think that I would double the recipe so that you could have sauce to pour onto the rice instead of it just being on the steak and peas.
