BEEF AND SUGAR SNAP PEA STIR FRY RECIPE



Beef and Sugar Snap Pea Stir Fry Recipe image

This is the absolute best BEEF STIR FRY RECIPE! It's a super easy 30 minute dinner that is delicious. The dish includes tender slices of flank steak and sugar snap pea pods. The Asian inspired sauce has plenty of umami and is made with beef stock, soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar and cornstarch. This one is an all time favorite dinner recipe!

Provided by Amy Casey

Categories     entrée

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 pounds flank steak
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce, divided
1/2 cup reduced sodium beef stock
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 cups sugar snap peas
sesame seeds for serving
4 cups cooked hot rice

Steps:

  • Place the flank steak on a cutting board and thinly slice against the grain. You want slices that are 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Place the sliced steak in a bowl and sprinkle with the baking soda, 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce and 1 tablespoon water. Toss to combine and let marinate for 15 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of reduced sodium soy sauce, reduced sodium beef stock, oyster sauce, light brown sugar and cornstarch. Stir to dissolve the light brown sugar and cornstarch. Set aside.
  • Fill a medium sized pot with water, place of high heat and bring to a boil. When the water boils, add the sugar snap peas. Cook for 2 minutes. Drain the snap peas in a colander and set aside.
  • After the steak has marinated for 15 minutes, heat a large sauté pan or wok over medium high heat. Add the toasted sesame oil. When the oil is hot (this will take less than a minute over medium high heat) add the steak. Let the steak sauté for a minute or so and then stir to cook evenly. You want the steak to just be cooked with still a few pink spots. It should be medium rare to medium. Overcooking the steak will make it tough.
  • Pour the sauce into the the pan. Let come to a low boil then stir to finish cooking the steak and thicken the sauce. This will take about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the sugar snap peas and toss to coat with the sauce.
  • Serve the beef stir fry over the rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

BEEF WITH SNOW PEAS



Beef with Snow Peas image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 16m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons sherry or cooking sherry
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon peeled and minced fresh ginger
1 1/2 pounds flank steak, trimmed of fat and sliced very thin against the grain
3 tablespoons peanut or olive oil
8 ounces fresh snow peas, trimmed
5 whole scallions, cut into 1/2-inch pieces on the diagonal
Crushed red pepper
Salt, as needed (use sparingly!)
Jasmine or long-grain rice, cooked according to package directions

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sherry, cornstarch, brown sugar and ginger. Add the beef to a separate bowl and pour one-third of the liquid over the top. Save the rest of the liquid. Toss the beef and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy skillet (iron is best) over high heat. Add the snow peas and stir for 45 seconds, getting as much color on them as possible. Remove to a plate.
  • Allow the skillet to get very hot again. With tongs, add half the meat mixture, leaving most of the marinade still in the bowl. Spread out the meat as you add it to skillet, but do not stir for a good minute. (You want the meat to get as brown as possible as quickly as possible.) Sprinkle half the scallions over the meat. Flip the meat to the other side and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove to a clean plate.
  • Repeat with the other half of the meat, allowing the skillet to get very hot again first. After flipping, add the first plateful of meat, the reserved liquid, the crushed red pepper and snow peas. Stir over high heat for 30 seconds, and then turn off the heat. Check the seasonings and add salt only if it needs it. The mixture will thicken as it sits. Serve immediately over rice.

STIR-FRIED BEEF AND SUGAR SNAP PEAS



Stir-Fried Beef and Sugar Snap Peas image

Here's a stir-fry far better than most take-out Chinese, and you can make it with any lean cut of meat - flank steak, London broil, tenderloin, sirloin or skirt steak - so long as it is cut thin against the grain. Most takeout joints use snow peas, but sugar snaps are juicier and more succulent, and just as crunchy. (Their downside is that they are slightly more work: they need to be thinly sliced.) As for the sauce, it's simple: thick dark soy sauce (tamari works well), sesame oil, chicken broth and Madeira.
