Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 pounds flank steak
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce, divided
1/2 cup reduced sodium beef stock
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 cups sugar snap peas
sesame seeds for serving
4 cups cooked hot rice

Steps:

  • Place the flank steak on a cutting board and thinly slice against the grain. You want slices that are 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Place the sliced steak in a bowl and sprinkle with the baking soda, 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce and 1 tablespoon water. Toss to combine and let marinate for 15 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of reduced sodium soy sauce, reduced sodium beef stock, oyster sauce, light brown sugar and cornstarch. Stir to dissolve the light brown sugar and cornstarch. Set aside.
  • Fill a medium sized pot with water, place of high heat and bring to a boil. When the water boils, add the sugar snap peas. Cook for 2 minutes. Drain the snap peas in a colander and set aside.
  • After the steak has marinated for 15 minutes, heat a large sauté pan or wok over medium high heat. Add the toasted sesame oil. When the oil is hot (this will take less than a minute over medium high heat) add the steak. Let the steak sauté for a minute or so and then stir to cook evenly. You want the steak to just be cooked with still a few pink spots. It should be medium rare to medium. Overcooking the steak will make it tough.
  • Pour the sauce into the the pan. Let come to a low boil then stir to finish cooking the steak and thicken the sauce. This will take about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the sugar snap peas and toss to coat with the sauce.
  • Serve the beef stir fry over the rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

BEEF WITH SNOW PEAS

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:

  • Choose the right beef: For stir-fried beef, flank steak, skirt steak, or rib-eye steak are all good choices. These cuts are relatively thin and cook quickly, making them ideal for stir-frying.
  • Slice the beef thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch will help tenderize it and give it flavor.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: This will help the beef sear quickly and evenly.
  • Stir-fry the beef in small batches: This will prevent the beef from overcrowding the pan and steaming instead of searing.
  • Add the sugar snap peas at the end of cooking: This will help them retain their crispness.
  • Serve the stir-fried beef and sugar snap peas over rice: This will make a complete and satisfying meal.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried beef and sugar snap peas is a quick and easy dish that is packed with flavor. It is a great way to use up leftover beef, and it is also a healthy and delicious meal. With a few simple tips, you can make a stir-fried beef and sugar snap peas dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
