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.
