Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb sirloin steak
1/4 c soy sauce
2 Tbsp cream sherry
2 Tbsp hoisin sauce
2 tsp sugar
3/4 tsp dark sesame oil
3/4 tsp chili paste
1/8 tsp anise seeds
1/2 lb fresh snow pea pods
3 Tbsp vegetable oil, divided
4 c broccoli flowerets
3 medium carrots, scraped and diagonally sliced
1/2 c green onions, chopped
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1/2 c water
1/2 c cashews
hot cooked rice

Steps:

1. Trim any excess fat from the steak. Slice the steak diagonally across the grain into 1/4 inch thick strips.
2. Combine the soy sauce and the next 6 ingredients in a large bowl; add steak, and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours; drain, reserving the marinade. Set the steak and the marinade aside.
3. Wash the snow peas; trim ends, and remove the strings. Set aside.
4. Pour 1 tablespoon oil around the top of a preheated wok or large skillet, coating the sides. Heat at medium-high (375) for 2 minutes. Add the broccoli and carrot, and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the reserved snow peas and green onions, and stir fry 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the wok; set aside, and keep warm.
5. Pour 1 tablespoon oil into the wok; add half of the reserved steak, and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Remove steak from the wok; set aside, and keep warm. Pour the remaining 1 tablespoon oil into the wok; add the remaining reserved steak and stir-fry 2 minutes. Return steak, marinade, and vegetables to the wok.
6. Combine the cornstarch and water; stir well. Add to the steak mixture, and stir-fry for 3 minutes or until the mixture is thickened. Stir in the cashews. Serve over rice.
