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.

Tips:
- Choose the right scallops. Fresh, dry scallops are the best choice for this dish. Avoid scallops that are frozen or have been treated with preservatives.
- Sear the scallops properly. Searing the scallops in a hot pan will help to develop their flavor and prevent them from becoming tough.
- Don't overcook the scallops. Scallops are a delicate seafood, so it's important to cook them quickly over high heat. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
- Use fresh vegetables. Fresh sugar snap peas and bell peppers will add color and flavor to this dish.
- Use a good quality sauce. The sauce is what brings all the flavors of this dish together. Use a flavorful, well-balanced sauce that you enjoy.
Conclusion:
Stir-fried scallops with sugar snap peas is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to get your daily dose of protein and vegetables, and it's also a great option for a light lunch or dinner. If you're looking for a new and exciting way to cook scallops, this recipe is definitely worth a try.
