Beef with Scallions

The name says it all. You can add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to spice it up. I hear you asking, “Are scallions and green (or spring) onions the same thing?” Well, yes and no. They’re the same plant but usually different varietals. And green onions are picked when they are more mature. Green onions have a stronger flavor than scallions. If you want to make a tossed salad to be eaten raw, use scallions. If you’re going to cook the onions, the you can use either scallions or green onions, as cooking them tones down the flavor.
