Beef with Snow Peas


Ive been looking for a good recipe for this for a long time and Ive finally found one that the whole family loves. I changed this recipe up a little but its basically the same.

here is how i made mine:
Slice flank steak or sirloin thin. (in strips) Add to bowl.

Make marinade

1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce

3 tablespoons cooking sherry

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 tablespoon fresh minced ginger

2 teaspoons minced garlic


whisk together in a bowl and add to the bowl with the meat. I let mine marinate in the fridge for about 2 hrs.


8 ounces snow peas (i used a whole bag of the ones you get in the produce section so i think it might have been a little more than 8 ounces)

1 cup petite mini carrots (also in fresh produce section)


Cut ends off snowpeas. Add 3 tablespoons oil to skillet. I used 2 tablespoons peanut oil and 1 tablespoon sesame oil for flavor. Add carrots to pan and saute about 4-5 minutes or until tender. Add snow peas and cook another 1-2 min. Dont overcook because they are better a little crisp.


put cooked vegetables in a bowl and set aside.


Add another tablespoon peanut oil to pan, wait for it to get very hot and then take tongs to get the meat out of the bowl without the extra marinade. Save the marinade, you will need it later. Cook meat in two batches to ensure even browning. Set aside first batch of meat while you are cooking the second batch. Make sure pan gets very hot again before adding second batch. Then put all the meat together and add the vegetables and the remaining marinade in the bowl and cook for another minute or until marinade thickens.


Four out of five of us LOVE nuts so i add about a 1/4 cup roasted peanuts to each of our plates.


Rice

I make mine in a cuisinart rice cooker. I add 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice and 3 cups water
