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.

SWISS CHARD, SNAP PEAS, AND BEEF STIR-FRY



Swiss Chard, Snap Peas, and Beef Stir-Fry image

Stir-frying relies on intense heat to sear proteins and cook vegetables quickly. The combination of earthy chard, bracing garlic, and sweet ginger requires hardly any sauce; a squeeze of citrus pulls it all together.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 ounces sirloin steak, thinly sliced
