STIR-FRIED THAI-STYLE BEEF WITH CHILES AND SHALLOTS
The original recipe calls for blade steak, but we use flank steak. To cut a flank steak into the proper-sized slices for stir-frying, first cut the steak with the grain into 1 1/2-inch strips, then cut the strips against the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. White pepper lends this stir-fry a unique flavor; black pepper is not a good substitute. I have also used green onions in place of the shallots with good results. We serve this with steamed jasmine rice, but any rice will do. Cooking time does not include marinating time. Adapted from Cooks Illustrated magazine, July 2005. Hope you enjoy!

- In a wok, heat the oil; drain beef, reserving marinade.

- Meanwhile, stir the cornstarch mixture, oyster, and fish sauces together in a small bowl; stir them into the stir-fry, blending them in well, until mixture thickens.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality beef. Look for flank steak, skirt steak, or top sirloin.
- Slice the beef against the grain to make it more tender.
- Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- Use a hot wok or skillet to cook the beef. This will help to create a nice sear and prevent the meat from sticking.
- Cook the beef in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help to ensure that the meat cooks evenly.
- Add the vegetables towards the end of cooking so that they remain crisp.
- Serve the stir-fried beef with rice or noodles.

This stir-fried Thai-style beef with chiles and shallots is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The beef is tender and juicy, the vegetables are crisp and colorful, and the sauce is savory and slightly spicy. Serve this dish with rice or noodles for a complete and satisfying meal.
