Quick Asian Style Beef



Notes:
*This dish has a good bit of garlic, red pepper and ginger... feel free to lower the amounts to suit your tastes.
*Use the Asian pear puree OR the brown sugar, not both.
*Try the lower amount of brown sugar first and taste before adding the entire amount. Again, adjust to your preference.
*The sesame oil really is only for flavor, it can be omitted if you would prefer.
*This recipe is also delicious made with ground chicken or turkey.
*Please do use low sodium soy sauce, because it calls for a lot, using regular might yield a dish that is too salty.



Quick Asian Style Beef
Ingredients:
2 pounds ground round (or the very leanest ground beef you can find)
1 Tablespoon sesame oil (more for the flavor than anything, feel free to omit if you like)
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 Tablespoon red pepper flakes
1/2 to 1 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 peeled and pureed Asian pears (or 1/2 to 3/4  cup brown sugar, see notes above)
2- 10 ounce bags angel hair shredded green cabbage (Coleslaw mix)
1/4 cup of water
Green onions, chopped

Method:
1: Brown ground round in a skillet, drain and return to skillet.
2: In a food processor, puree 2 peeled, cored and chopped Asian pears until smooth.
3: To the skillet with the cooked beef, add sesame oil, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, red pepper flakes and Asian pear puree (or the brown sugar, if you opted to use that instead).
4: Combine well, cover and simmer on low 15-20 minutes. Stirring occasionally to make sure it’s not sticking.
5: While the beef mixture is simmering, sauté the cabbage in a nonstick skillet with a tiny bit of water until just barely wilted. It should still have some bite to it.
6: Line shallow individual bowls with sauteed cabbage and ladle beef mixture over the cabbage.
7: Top with a generous handful of chopped green onion to serve.

Makes 8-10 servings

Peanut Butter Banana Bread

Ingredients: 4 very ripe bananas, mashed 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter 3/4 cup sugar 1 egg, beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking soda Pinch of salt 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour Method: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Mash bananas in a large mixing bowl with a fork until fairly smooth. Add in the peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla and combine well. Add in the cinnamon, baking soda and salt and mix again. Lastly add the flour, mix well. Pour the mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan. Bake for about 1 hour. When a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean, the bread is done. Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and serve! Makes one loaf. Kitchen Notes: If you don't like peanut butter, you can make this into a more traditional banana bread by substituting 1/3 cup melted butter, margarine or applesauce (keeps the bread moist without the added fat) for the PB. Variations my family likes: 1/2 cup of shredded coconut. 3/...
