Steps:
- Season the steak with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, chile pepper, sugar and lime juice until the sugar is dissolved. Add the beef, toss to coat and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil until shimmering, about 1 minute. Add the beef and cook, stirring, until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside. Allow the liquid in the pan to reduce until thickened, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and scallions and cook 1 minute more. Add the mushrooms and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Add the snow peas, baby corn and bell pepper and continue cooking until all the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Return the beef to the skillet and toss to combine.

Steps:
- In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry for about 3 minutes. Remove beef and reserve. To the same wok, add the remaining oil and saute the onions, garlic, and ginger. Add the stir-fry vegetable medley, mushrooms, water chestnuts, and red bell peppers. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes and return the beef to the wok. Stirring constantly, add the oyster sauce and crushed red pepper flakes. In a small bowl, whisk the stir-fry seasoning mix with 1/8 cup water until combined. Add the seasoning mixture to the wok and stir for another 3 minutes. Serve with steamed instant white rice.
STIR-FRY BEEF
This beef stir-fry is a little spicy...if you need a milder version reduce the crushed red pepper by half. This comes from "Plain & Elegant: A Georgia Heritage" . The original recipe does not call for any green vegetable, but I like to add some fresh asparagus when I cook the squash....but I posted it as originally posted.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for ripe nectarines, tender beef, and a good-quality stir-fry sauce.
- Slice the beef thinly: This will help it cook quickly and evenly. You can also use a meat mallet to pound the beef into thin slices.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and spices will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
- Cook the beef over high heat: This will help to sear the meat and lock in the flavor. Be sure to stir the beef constantly so that it cooks evenly.
- Add the nectarines last: Nectarines cook quickly, so you don't want to add them to the stir-fry until the end. This will help to prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fry is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to preserve the flavor and texture of the dish.
Conclusion:
Stir-fry beef with nectarines is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make a stir-fry that is both flavorful and healthy.
