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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh sugar snap peas: Look for sugar snap peas that are bright green and crisp. Avoid any that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Prep the sugar snap peas properly: Remove the stem end of the sugar snap peas and then give them a quick rinse. You can leave them whole or cut them into smaller pieces, depending on your preference.
  • Use high-quality Chinese sausage: The Chinese sausage is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality sausage. Look for a sausage that is made with pork and has a nice smoky flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok: When stir-frying, it's important to not overcrowd the wok. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick.
  • Cook the sugar snap peas quickly: Sugar snap peas cook very quickly, so it's important to not overcook them. Stir-fry them for just a few minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried sugar snap peas with Chinese sausage is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The sugar snap peas are crisp and tender, the Chinese sausage is smoky and flavorful, and the ginger and garlic add a nice touch of spice. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
