Beef with Sugar Snap Peas image

This is similar to Chinese Beef with Broccoli, except it incorporates Asian sugar snap peas in place of the broccoli, and it utilizes a different palate of herbs and spices that complement both the beef and peas.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup - uncooked brown rice
1 1/2 pound(s) beef flank steak
3 tablespoon(s) low-sodium soy sauce, divided
2 teaspoon(s) sesame oil
1 medium onion, halved and then sliced into thin half rings
2 teaspoon(s) ground ginger
3 cups - frozen sugar snap peas
2 cups - shredded carrot
3/4 cup - low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup - hoisin sauce
2 teaspoon(s) cornstarch

Steps:

  • Cook rice according to package direction, except omit any salt and fat (such as butter, oil).
  • Cut beef diagonally across the grain into thin slices. Combine steak and 2 tablespoons soy sauce; toss well to coat beef with soy sauce.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beef and soy mixture, and sauté for about 4 minutes or until beef is lightly browned on all sides. Transfer steak to platter; keep warm.
  • Add onion and ginger to skillet, and sauté for about 2 minutes. Add peas and carrots, and sauté for 2 minutes more. Stir in the steak/soy mixture, and sauté another minute or so (enough to thoroughly heat the beef).
  • In a bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 Tbsp soy sauce, broth, hoisin and cornstarch. Add the broth mixture to the skillet, and bring mixture to a brisk boil. Let boil 1 minute or until sauce is slightly thickened, stirring constantly.
  • Serve immediately over cooked rice.
