Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup long-grain rice
12 ounces skirt steak, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons mirin
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
3 cloves garlic, grated
1 large carrot, peeled and sliced on a bias
3 ounces snow peas, strings removed, halved crosswise
1 scallion green, thinly sliced on a bias

Steps:

  • For the rice: To a small saucepan, add the rice and 2 cups of water. Place the pan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the rice is tender, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, combine the skirt steak and 2 tablespoons soy sauce in a medium bowl and toss to combine. Chill for 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, mix 1/2 cup cornstarch with salt and pepper to taste. Toss the skirt steak in the cornstarch mixture and coat well. Transfer the coated meat to a fine sieve and knock off any excess cornstarch.
  • Heat 1 cup canola oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add half of the beef in a single layer and cook without stirring for 2 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes longer; transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining skirt steak. Carefully discard the hot oil and wipe the skillet clean.
  • To a small bowl, add the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, mirin, red wine vinegar, ginger, crushed red pepper, garlic and remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Mix to combine.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the snow peas and cook for 2 minutes. Add the garlic-ginger sauce and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute until the liquid starts to thicken. Add the crispy skirt steak and toss until fully coated. If the sauce looks too thick, you can add 1/4 cup water to thin it out. Serve over rice and garnish with scallion greens.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Snow Peas and Carrots: Select snow peas that are bright green, crisp, and have a slight curve. Avoid limp or yellowed ones. Choose carrots that are smooth, firm, and have a deep orange color.
  • Quick Stir-Frying: Stir-frying requires high heat and quick cooking to retain the vegetables' crispness and nutrients. Make sure your wok or pan is hot enough before adding the vegetables.
  • Season Wisely: Soy sauce and sesame oil are classic seasonings for stir-fried vegetables. Adjust the amount of soy sauce to your taste preference. You can also add other seasonings like garlic powder, ginger powder, or red pepper flakes.
  • Add Aromatics: Aromatics like garlic, ginger, and green onions enhance the flavor of the dish. Add them to the wok or pan at the beginning of cooking to infuse their flavors into the oil.
  • Retain Crispness: Do not overcrowd the wok or pan with vegetables. This will prevent even cooking and make them soggy. Stir-fry the vegetables in batches if necessary.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried snow peas and carrots is a quick, easy, and healthy side dish that can complement any main course. It's a great way to add more vegetables to your diet and enjoy the fresh flavors of snow peas and carrots.
