Asian Beef with Snow Peas

This recipe was featured in the June 2009 issue of This That & the Other Magazine. We are so glad!

Note: If serving over rice, start your rice cooking before you do anything else - this dish is ready in no time! Also, I added a couple of tablespoons of sesame seeds to the initial stir-fry.

PREP TIME 5 Min
COOK TIME 10 Min
READY IN 15 Min

3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 pound beef round steak, cut into thin strips
8 ounces snow peas or sugar-snap peas

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice wine, brown sugar and cornstarch. Set aside.

Heat oil in a wok or skillet over medium high heat. Stir-fry ginger and garlic for 30 seconds. Add the steak and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until evenly browned. Add the snow peas and stir-fry for an additional 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce mixture, bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Lower heat and simmer until the sauce is thick and smooth. Serve immediately, usually over rice.
