Steak is always a favorite at my house – no matter how you cook it. This stir fry is simple and good. Thin sliced flank steak and scallions; hoisin sauce has a rich, sweet flavor – you can find it in the Asian section of your market. And yes, scallions are just green onions which also have a mild, sweet flavor when you cook them. Put it all together for a delicious, easy dinner. It’s good served with brocoli.
