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.

Time 4h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 large steak, sliced
4 tablespoons black bean garlic sauce
3 teaspoons sesame oil
1/2 cup soy sauce
canola oil
1/2 onion, julienned
8 ounces sugar snap peas
1/2 bok choy, cut into bite-sized pieces
15 baby carrots
1 small zucchini
1 small yellow squash
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts
1 (8 ounce) can bamboo shoots
1 (16 ounce) can baby corn
1 (5 ounce) bag peanuts

Steps:

  • Slice the steak and douse with soy sauce, let sit overnight or at least 4 hours. Just use enough to make sure all the meat has some on it, don't use too much.
  • Fry up the steak in a few tablespoons of canola oil, one big spoonful of bean paste, and a few shakes of sesame oil. Set aside.
  • Using the same pan, begin cooking the vegetables. I start with the onion and carrots, then add the bok choy, and finish with the zucchini, squash, and peas. Add more bean paste and sesame oil to taste (I usually put in another large spoonful of bean paste at this step). Add soy sauce as well, if you'd like.
  • At the same time as the zucchini, add the rest of the meat, the water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, baby corn and peanuts.
  • Season with more of the sauces to taste, serve over rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: For stir-fries, thin slices of steak or strips of flank steak or skirt steak work best. These cuts cook quickly and stay tender.
  • Tenderize the beef: Before cooking, you can tenderize the beef by marinating it in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch. This will help to break down the fibers and make the beef more tender.
  • Cook the beef in a hot wok or skillet: This will help to sear the beef and lock in the juices. Be sure to stir the beef constantly so that it cooks evenly.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your stir-fry the best flavor. Choose vegetables that are in season and that have a good crunch, such as sugar snap peas, broccoli, or carrots.
  • Cook the vegetables quickly: Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Add a sauce or marinade: A sauce or marinade can add flavor and moisture to your stir-fry. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own. Some popular options include soy sauce, oyster sauce, and hoisin sauce.

Conclusion:

Beef and sugar snap stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make a stir-fry that is packed with flavor and nutrition. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give beef and sugar snap stir-fry a try.
