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.

SWISS CHARD, SNAP PEAS, AND BEEF STIR-FRY



Swiss Chard, Snap Peas, and Beef Stir-Fry image

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.

1 tablespoon Peanut oil
1 slice Ginger, peeled and lightly smashed (about 1/2 inch)
2 cloves Garlic, peeled and lightly smashed
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
1 1/2 tablespoon Oyster sauce
1/2 tablespoon Dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon Sesame oil
1 teaspoon Sugar
1 pinch White pepper
1/2 cup Chicken stock
2 tablespoon For the Stir-Fry: Dark soy sauce
2 tablespoon Shaoxing wine

3 tablespoon Vegetable, canola, or peanut oil, divided
1 pound Snap peas, trimmed
2 teaspoon Medium cloves garlic, finely minced
2 teaspoon Finely minced fresh ginger
1 piece Scallion, white and light green parts only, finely minced

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 fresh snap peas: Look for snap peas that are bright green, crisp, and have no signs of wilting or bruising.
  • Prep your snap peas: Remove the strings from the snap peas by pulling them off with your fingers. You can also use a knife to trim the ends.
  • Cook snap peas quickly: Snap peas are best cooked quickly over high heat. This will help them retain their crisp texture and bright color.
  • Use a variety of cooking methods: Snap peas can be stir-fried, sautéed, steamed, or roasted. You can also add them to salads, soups, and stews.
  • Season snap peas simply: Snap peas have a delicate flavor, so it's best to season them simply with salt, pepper, and perhaps a squeeze of lemon juice.

Conclusion:

Snap peas are a versatile and delicious vegetable. They can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes, and they're a great source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. With their bright green color and crisp texture, snap peas are a welcome addition to any meal.
