A popular Thai hors d’oeuvre that I’ve turned into a rib-sticking main dish.
Servings: 4
-
3 tablespoons peanut oil or corn oil
-
Half of a 1-pound package peeled baby-cut fresh carrots, halved lengthwise
-
4 small zucchini, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch chunks
-
4 large scallions, trimmed and thickly sliced (include some green tops)
-
1 large garlic clove, finely minced
-
2 teaspoons finely minced fresh ginger
-
1 pound flank steak halved lengthwise, then each half sliced crosswise into strips
-
1/4 inch wide
-
2 teaspoons cornstarch blended with 1/2 cup beef broth and
-
1 tablespoon each soy sauce and dry sherry
-
1/4 cup Thai peanut sauce (available in supermarkets)
-
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
-
1 1/4 cups Thai coconut milk (use light, if you like)

1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce
-
3 cups Al Dente Make-Ahead Rice, reheated
-
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro or Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
-
1/2 cup coarsely chopped dry roasted peanuts
-
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large, heavy skillet over high heat 2 minutes.
-
Add carrots and cook, turning in oil, 2 minutes. Cover, reduce heat to moderate, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
-
Add zucchini, scallions, garlic, and ginger and cook, stirring often, until zucchini is crisp-tender, 5 to 8 minutes. With slotted spoon, scoop vegetables to large plate and reserve.

Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet and heat over high heat 1 minute. Add flank steak and stir-fry until no longer pink, about 2 minutes.
-
Reduce heat to moderately low, blend in cornstarch mixture, and cook and stir until mixture bubbles and thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Blend in peanut sauce, peanut butter, coconut milk, and red pepper sauce and cook and stir just until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.
-
Return carrots and zucchini to skillet and heat 1 minute longer.
-
Mound rice in heated deep platter, spoon skillet mixture on top, sprinkle with cilantro and peanuts, and serve.
