Saucy Thai Beef Noodles

This recipe is courtesy of Taste of Home. I loooove Thai food with peanut butter! My hubby, on the other hand, doesn't like peanut butter with his noodles :) It all depends on your personal taste. Give it a try!

Ingredients

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 Tbsp. brown sugar

2 Tbsp. sherry

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

3 drops hot pepper sauce

12 ounces uncooked spaghetti

1 beef top sirloin steak (1 pound), thinly sliced

1-1/2 tsp. canola oil, divided

1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh carrot

1/2 cup julienned sweet red pepper

1 cup fresh snow peas

2 green onions, sliced

1/4 cup chopped salted peanuts

2 Tbsp. minced fresh cilantro

Directions

In a small saucepan, bring the first eight ingredients just to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; set aside.

Cook spaghetti according to package directions.

In a large skillet or wok, stir-fry beef in 1/2 teaspoon oil until no longer pink. Remove and keep warm.
Stir-fry carrot and red pepper in remaining oil for 3-4 minutes. Add snow peas and onions; stir-fry 2-3 minutes longer or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Return beef to skillet.

Drain noodles; add to the pan. Add peanut sauce and toss to coat. Sprinkle with peanuts and cilantro. Yield: 6 servings.
