Warm Sweet Chili Steak Salad with Snap Peas, Spinach & Sesame SeedsWarm Sweet Chili Steak Salad with Snap Peas, Spinach & Sesame Seeds — a 35-minute dinner recipe with 12 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

3 (142 g) pkgs baby spinach

3 medium carrots

1.02 kg flank steaks

3 (227 g) pkgs sugar snap peas

black pepper

brown sugar

chili-garlic sauce

cornstarch

extra virgin olive oil

rice vinegar

salt

sesame seeds

Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce. (Skip the spinach if it came pre-washed.)

Preheat a large pot over medium-high heat.

While the pot heats up, pat steak dry with paper towels and slice crosswise into thin strips. Season with salt and pepper.

Once the pot is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add steak and snap peas; cook, stirring occasionally, until snap peas are soft and steak is cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Meanwhile, place vinegar, sugar, water, chili-garlic sauce, and salt in a small saucepan; whisk to combine. Set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, whisking occasionally.

While the sauce comes to a boil, in a small bowl, make a slurry by whisking water with cornstarch until smooth.

Once the sauce is boiling, add cornstarch slurry to the pan in a steady stream while whisking quickly. Cook, whisking constantly, until the sweet chili sauce thickens, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Place oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk to combine the dressing.

Using a clean cutting board, peel and trim carrots; run a vegetable peeler along the length of the carrots to make ribbons. Add to the bowl with the dressing.

Add spinach to the bowl. Using your hands, massage spinach and carrot until wilted, about 1 minute.

Add sweet chili sauce to the pot with the steak and snap peas, then stir to coat.

To serve, divide spinach salad between plates or bowls. Top with steak and snap peas, then sprinkle with sesame seeds. Enjoy!
