Ingredients Needed:
- 1 ½ lb. Flank Steak, trimmed of fat and sliced thin against the grain
- ½ cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
- 3 tbsp Sherry or Cooking Sherry
- 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tbsp Minced Fresh Ginger

How To Make This Beef And Snow Peas:
- Marinate the beef: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sherry, brown sugar, cornstarch, and ginger. Pour half over the sliced beef and toss to coat. Set the remaining marinade aside.
- Cook the snow peas: Heat oil in a skillet or wok over high heat. Stir-fry the snow peas for 45 seconds, then remove them to a plate.
- Cook the beef: Heat the pan again. Add half the beef and scallions, spreading the meat without stirring for one minute to brown. Turn the beef and cook another 30 seconds, then remove to a plate. Repeat with the remaining beef.
- Combine and finish: Return all beef to the pan, along with the remaining marinade and snow peas. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, then remove from heat. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve: Serve immediately over cooked rice. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper for spice.
Recipe Tips
- Slice the steak thinly: Make sure to cut the flank steak thinly against the grain to ensure it’s tender when cooked.
- Use a hot pan: Ensure the pan is very hot before cooking the beef to get a nice brown sear without overcooking it.
- Don’t overcook the snow peas: Stir-fry the snow peas briefly to keep them crisp and fresh.
- Stir the marinade well: Before adding it to the meat, make sure the marinade is well-mixed to avoid any lumps from the cornstarch.
- Serve immediately: For the best flavor and texture, serve the dish right after cooking while it’s still hot and fresh.
