I love recipes containing nuts, especially savory dishes:
Spicy Beef with Cashews
1 LB lean beef sirloin, boneless (thinly sliced)
Marinade:
Cut the beef into 1/2" wide strips; place the strips in a large, nonmetallic bowl. To prepare the marinade, dry-cook the sesame seeds in a heavy pan over medium heat for two or three minutes. Place the seeds in a mortar with the garlic, ginger and chile; grind to a smooth paste with a pestle. Add the soy sauce and curry paste, mix well. (If you do not have a mortar and pestle, try placing the ingredients in a large bowl and mashing with the bottom of a heavy glass or cup). Spoon the paste over the beef strips and toss to coat the meat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for two to three hours, or overnight. Heat a heavy skillet until very hot; brush with vegetable oil. Add the beef strips and cook quickly, turning frequently, until lightly browned. Remove from the heat and spoon into a pile on a warmed serving dish. Heat the sesame oil in a small pan and cook the cashews until golden. Add the green onions and stir-fry for thirty seconds. Sprinkle the mixture onto the beef strips and serve garnished with cucumber.
Utter yum!
