Ingredients

• 1-1/2 lb. flank steak, trimmed of fat And sliced very thin against the G\grain
• 1/2 c. low- odium soy Ssuce

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, sherry, brown sugar, cornstarch and ginger. In a bowl, pour half of the liquid over the sliced meat; toss. Reserve the other half of the liquid; set aside.
2. Heat oil in a heavy iron skillet, if possible or wok over high heat; add snow peas; stir for 45 seconds. Remove to a separate plate; set aside.
3. Allow pan to get very hot again. With tongs, add half the meat mixture, leaving most of the marinade still in the bowl; add half of the scallions. Spread out meat while adding it to the pan, but do not stir for a good minute. You want the meat to get as brown as possible in as short amount a time as possible! Turn meat over to the other side; cook for another 30 seconds. Remove to a clean plate/platter.
