Steak and Spring Vegetable Stir-Fry image

To keep the vegetables peppy and bright, sauté them separately from the meat, then return them to the pan so they get their fair share of the gingery sauce.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb. sirloin steak
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
2 Tbsp. soy sauce, divided
4 Tbsp. vegetable oil, divided
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed, cut into 1" pieces
8 oz. sugar snap peas, trimmed, strings removed
1 (2") piece ginger, scrubbed, very thinly sliced crosswise
6 scallions, thinly sliced, divided
1/4 cup oyster sauce
3 Tbsp. mirin (Japanese rice wine)
2 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
Kosher salt
Cooked rice (for serving)

Steps:

  • Pat steak dry with paper towels. Slice meat crosswise as thinly as possible and place in a medium bowl. Add cornstarch, 1 Tbsp. soy sauce, and 1 Tbsp. oil and toss with tongs to coat meat.
  • Toss asparagus, sugar snap peas, ginger, and three-fourths of scallions in another medium bowl.
  • Stir oyster sauce, mirin, vinegar, and remaining 1 Tbsp. soy sauce in a measuring glass or small bowl to combine.
  • Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet, preferably stainless steel, over medium-high. Cook vegetable mixture, shaking skillet often to move them around, just until asparagus is tender but still retains a hint of crunch, about 3 minutes. Return vegetables to bowl.
  • Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in skillet over medium-high. Add steak, arranging slices in a single layer, and cook, undisturbed, until undersides are browned, about 3 minutes. Using a thin metal spatula, scrape bottom of skillet and loosen meat. Add cooked vegetables and sauce to skillet and cook, tossing constantly, until meat is cooked through and sauce is thick and bubbling, about 2 minutes. Let cool slightly; season lightly with salt.
  • Serve stir-fry over rice, topped with remaining scallions.

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The fresher and better quality the ingredients, the tastier the stir-fry will be. Look for fresh, crisp vegetables and tender, flavorful beef.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a flavorful sauce or marinade will help tenderize it and infuse it with flavor.
  • Stir-fry in a hot pan: A hot pan will help to sear the beef and vegetables quickly, resulting in a tender and flavorful stir-fry.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Overcrowding the pan will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly and will result in a soggy stir-fry.
  • Cook the beef first: The beef takes longer to cook than the vegetables, so it should be cooked first.
  • Add the vegetables in stages: Add the vegetables in stages, starting with the ones that take longer to cook, such as carrots and broccoli. Then, add the vegetables that cook more quickly, such as snap peas and asparagus.
  • Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender-crisp: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp, but still have a bit of a crunch.
  • Season to taste: Once the stir-fry is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fry is best served immediately, while it is still hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Beef snap pea and asparagus stir-fry is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and can be easily customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can create a stir-fry that is sure to impress your family and friends.
