cooking question and PICSPAM

[cornerofmadness]

First the question, for all the cooks on my flist, how do you prepare thin, quick-cooking beef as for a stir fry or fajita. I always manage to ruin it. I'm pretty good in the kitchen but this one stymies me.

Take tonight's sukiyaki. I started with thin cut braising beef then pounded it even flatter. Being that broken down it should have been tender as heck. I fried it only for a moment then added it to the sukiyaki. I'm beginning to think part of the problem is the Asian (and hispanic) sauces. I think that my med. rare beef parboils in a blink of an eye or something. Cook time less than 3 minutes and tonights beef the cats couldn't chew.

And now ICE STORM 2009 PICSPAM

I think this one is beautiful SERIOUSLY. It's my favorite. It's almost art. If you only click on one...

Love the beauty shot. It reminds me of my current (winter) journal background.
