Ingredients

1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 pound beef top round steak, thinly sliced
6 ounces uncooked spaghetti
4 teaspoons canola oil, divided
1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
2 green onions, sliced
1 package (10 ounces) fresh spinach, coarsely chopped
1 red chili pepper, seeded and thinly sliced


Steps

1. In a small bowl, mix the first six ingredients. Remove 1/4 cup mixture to a
large bowl; add beef and toss to coat. Marinate at room temperature 10
minutes.

2. Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large
skillet, heat 1 1/2 teaspoons canola oil. Add half of the beef mixture; stir-fry
1-2 minutes or until no longer pink. Remove from pan. Repeat with an
additional 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and remaining beef mixture.

3. Stir-fry water chestnuts and green onions in remaining canola oil for 30
seconds. Stir in the spinach and remaining hoisin mixture; cook until spinach
is wilted. Return beef to pan; heat through.

4. Drain the spaghetti; add to beef mixture and toss to combine. Sprinkle with
chili pepper.
