Beef with Peanut Sauce

This beef curry can be served with white boiled rice or pan-fried spaghetti. (To stir fry the spaghetti, boil as normal packaged directions. Then add some spaghetti's to 1 tbsp. of oil and let them cook til one side begins to get brown-crunchy. Then carefully flip the spaghetti to get the same crunchy texture on the other side.)

INGREDIENTS:

1. 1 lb beef steaks
Marinade:
2. 2 tbsp soy sauce
3. 1 tbsp. corn flour
4. 0.25 ts salt
5. 0.5 ts sugar
Sauce: 
6. 2 tsp ginger/garlic paste
7. 1 tbsp. peanut butter 
8. 2 tbsp. soy sauce
9. 1 ts. crushed pepper oil sauce **(The recipe for this is given on another post)
10. 1/2 cup peanuts (I used raw peanuts with the skin on)
11. 4 tbsp. water
INSTRUCTIONS:
Mix together all the ingredients in the marinade section (items 2 through 5) and add the beef. Marinate the beef for a few hours. 
In a food processor, combine the sauce ingredients. The sauce will be a thick paste. Set this aside. 
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wok or large skillet. When the oil is hot, add the marinated beef. Stir fry the beef for about 5 minutes. The beef should be medium rare at this moment, they will begin to golden on the outside. Then add the sauce. Cook this on medium heat until the beef is cooked. *Note* At this stage, if the beef curry is very thick and dried, add 1/4 cup of cold water and mix completely. 
Serve with fried rice, steamed rice, or even on a side of noodles.
