STIR-FRIED BEEF AND SUGAR SNAP PEAS
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.

CURRIED BEEF AND AND SUGAR SNAP PEAS OVER RICE NOODLES
Steps:
- Cut beef against the grain into ‿-inch-thick slices. Pulse shallots, lemongrass, garlic, ginger, salt, curry paste, and sugar in a food processor until finely chopped.
- Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender, 3 to 4 minutes, and drain in a colander. Rinse briefly and drain well.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok or large heavy skillet over high heat until it just begins to smoke, then sauté beef, stirring, just until no longer pink. Add snap peas and sauté, stirring, 30 seconds. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in wok over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook shallot mixture, stirring frequently, until it begins to stick to bottom of wok, about 2 minutes. Stir in coconut milk and simmer, scraping up brown bits, until slightly thickened. Stir in beef mixture and cilantro and spoon over noodles.
SWISS CHARD, SNAP PEAS, AND BEEF STIR-FRY
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.

SNAP PEAS & BEEF
Steps:
- Mushrooms: Put 12 dried mushrooms in a heat-proof bowl and cover with 250 ml (1 cup) of boiling hot water.
- Put a dish on top so they stay submerged, and allow to soak for 30 minutes.
- Drain the mushrooms, reserving the soaking liquid. Squeeze excess water from mushrooms.
- In a small pot heat 1 Tbsp peanut oil, then add 1/2 inch fresh ginger, peeled and lightly smashed, and 2 garlic cloves, peeled and lightly smashed. Stir until fragrant, about a minute.
- Add the drained mushrooms.
- Add 1 Tbsp shaoxing wine and stir for a minute.
- Then add 1 1/2 Tbsp oyster sauce, 1/2 Tbsp dark soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp sugar, and a pinch of white pepper. Stir until the mushrooms are well coated.
- Add 60 ml (1/4 cup) chicken stock.
- Bring to a boil.
- Cover with the lid slightly cracked, and cook at a low simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the remaining 60 ml (1/4 cup) chicken stock as soon as all the liquid has been absorbed. Add water if needed to continue the simmer. Reserve the mushrooms.
- Blanch snap peas about 1 minute in boiling water
- For the Beef: Combine beef, salt, sugar, soy sauce, wine, sesame oil, baking soda, and cornstarch in a small bowl and toss to combine. Can double the sauce but do not add more salt. Set aside for 20 minutes.
- For the Stir Fry: Combine soy sauce, wine, chicken stock, oyster sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a small bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok over high heat until smoking. Add half of the beef, spreading it out in a single layer, and cook without moving until lightly browned on first side, about 1 minute. Toss and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until barely cooked through, about 1 minute longer. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Repeat with 1 more tablespoon oil and remaining beef.
- Wipe out wok, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and place over high heat until smoking. Add snap peas and cook, tossing and stirring frequently, until lightly charred in spots and bright green. Add garlic, ginger, and scallions and cook, stirring, until fragrant. Return beef to wok and toss to combine. Stir sauce and add to wok. Cook, stirring and tossing constantly, until sauce is thickened and coats beef and vegetables, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right snap peas: Look for snap peas that are bright green and have a crisp texture. Avoid peas that are yellow or have brown spots.
- Prepare the snap peas: Remove the strings from the snap peas by pulling them off with your fingers. You can also use a knife to remove the strings if you prefer.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic is a good option.
- Cook the beef: The beef can be cooked in a variety of ways, but stir-frying is a quick and easy method. Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat and add the beef. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through.
- Add the snap peas: Once the beef is cooked, add the snap peas to the wok or skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the snap peas are tender.
- Season to taste: Season the snap peas and beef with soy sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.
Conclusion:
Snap peas and beef is a delicious and healthy dish that is easy to make. The snap peas add a fresh, crunchy texture to the dish, while the beef provides a savory flavor. This dish is a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
