     Title: SHREDDED BEEF WITH SESAME SEEDS
Categories: Meats, Oriental
     Yield: 4 servings

   1/2 lb New York strip steak
          -(Boneless)
     1    Egg white
   1/2 ts Salt
     2 ts Cornstarch
   2/3 c  Oil, preferably peanut
     1 tb White sesame seeds
          - (untoasted)

---------------------------SAUCE---------------------------
     1 ts Dark soy sauce
     1 ts Chinese black rice vinegar
          -=OR=-  cider vingegar
   1/2 ts Sesame oil
     1 ts Sugar
     2 ts Rice wine or dry sherry
   1/2 ts Roasted Sichuan peppercorns
          - (optional)
     2 ts Finely chopped scallions

 CUT THE STEAK INTO FINE SHREDS 3 inches long. Combine
 them with the egg white, salt and cornstarch, and
 chill for about 20 minutes. Heat the oil in a wok or
 large skillet until it is moderately hot. Add the beef
 mixture and stir-fry it quickly in the oil to keep it
 from sticking. Cook until it turns white, which should
 take about 1 minute. Drain the beef immediately in a
 colander or sieve and drain off the oil. Clean the wok
 and add about 1 tablespoon of the drained oil. Reheat
 it until it is hot. Add the sesame seeds and stir-fry
 them for 1 minute or until they are slightly brown.
 Add the sauce ingredients and bring to a boil. Return
 the cooked beef to the pan and stir-fry the mixture
 for another 2 minutes, coating the pieces thoroughly
 with the sauce and sesame seeds. Serve at once, or let
 it cool and serve at room temperature.
