    Stir-Fry is so versatile.  I love making it because you can literally throw any meat and any vegetable combination into a hot skillet or wok and have a good meal in minutes.

    I am telling you that you can have the meal ready in less than the time that it takes you to get in your car and drive to a fast food restaurant or the time it takes for the pizza to be delivered to your home. The only moments that you have to really wait for some good stir-fry to happen are the time it takes for your pan to heat up, so basically minutes.

    I love sharing with you recipes that are real time-savers because let’s face it we are all super busy. Time is certainly limited throughout the week for most of us. But regardless of that, we cannot let being busy get in the way of giving our family a great homemade meal a few times a week, and the rest of the days you can have pizza and fast food if you would like to 😉

    Ingredients You'll Need

    • 1-½ pound Flank Steak, Trimmed Of Fat And Sliced Very Thin Against The Grain
    • ½ cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
    • 3 Tablespoons Sherry Or Cooking Sherry
    • 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
    • 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
    • 1 Tablespoon Minced Fresh Ginger
    • 8 ounces, weight Fresh Snow Peas, Ends Trimmed
    • 5 whole Scallions, Cut Into Haf-inch Pieces On The Diagonal
    • Salt As Needed (use Sparingly)
    • 3 Tablespoons Peanut Or Olive Oil
    • Crushed Red Pepper, For Sprinkling
    • Jasmine Or Long Grain Rice, Cooked According To the Package

    Step By Step Instructions

    In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, sherry, brown sugar, cornstarch, and ginger. Pour half the liquid over the sliced meat in a bowl and toss with your hands. Reserve the other half of the liquid. Set aside.

    Heat oil in a heavy skillet (iron is best) or wok over high heat. Add snow peas and stir for 45 seconds. Remove to a separate plate. Set aside.

    Allow the pan to get very hot again. With tongs, add half the meat mixture, leaving most of the marinade still in the bowl. Add half the scallions. Spread out meat as you add it to the pan, but do not stir for a good minute. (You want the meat to get as brown as possible in a short amount of time as possible.) Turn the meat to the other side and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove to a clean plate.

    Repeat with the other half of the meat, allowing the pan to get very hot again first. After turning it, add the first plateful of meat, the rest of the marinade, and the snow peas. Stir over high heat for 30 seconds, then turn off the heat. Check seasonings and add salt only if it needs it.

    The mixture will thicken as it sits. Serve the Beef and Snow Peas immediately over rice. Sprinkle crushed red pepper over the top to give it some spice. Enjoy!
