I made this last night and it's definitely a repeater. I don't make beef very often but it sure tastes great when we have it! I'm not sure where I got this recipe..InStyle mag?. It's supposed to be from "Republic" restaurant in NYC(which is a great place to get some noodles or some Watermelon Gazpacho). I didn't use 1/4 cup of oil. It seemed unnecessary in a nonstick skillet. I'm sure the 2 T. mixed in with the beef is probably more than enough oil. The dish looked so pretty with the dark beef, red tomatoes, and all the green from cukes, basil, and onions.

I'm not sure I will be able to find lemongrass without driving all over creation, which I am just not willing to do for one stalk. Is there an acceptable substitute? Foodsubs.com says I can use lemon zest--do you think this would work?

Heidi-

I actually didn't have the lemongrass(what they had in the store was moldy) and I didn't have bean sprouts either. I think some lemon or lime zest would be perfect. Let us know how it turns out.

Would you be referring to the Republic on Union Square?

I do love that restaurant. How did you find the recipe? Are there more, I love their pad thai and the dumplings in the plummy sauce.

Thanks.

Yes, that would be Republic on Union Square. I seem to remember clipping the recipe out of InStyle magazine several years ago. I don't know if Republic has any other recipes in print. It's worth investigating. Heck, if they come out with a cookbook I would totally buy one!
