Ingredients

1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 pound boneless New York strip steak, thinly sliced
Coarse salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 bunch asparagus (14 ounces), trimmed, cut into 2-inch lengths
6 ounces snap peas
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon peeled minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving (optional)
2 tablespoons torn fresh basil leaves
Reserved cooked rice from Pork Chops with Pineapple and Rice

Steps:

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar. Season steak with salt. In a large skillet or wok, heat oil over high. Cook steak, undisturbed, until brown on one side, 2 minutes (do not overcrowd pan). Flip and cook until cooked through, 30 seconds. Transfer to a bowl.
Add asparagus, snap peas, garlic, and ginger to skillet. Cook, stirring constantly (add a little water if pan gets too dark), until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Add soy mixture and cook until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Remove skillet from heat and stir in lemon juice and basil. Toss steak with vegetables; serve with rice and lemon wedges if desired.

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.
