Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce (use low sodium if desired)
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry (I have also used port wine)
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 pound flank steak (thinly sliced and cut across the grain)

How To Make beef and snow peas

  • Meat marinading in a bowl.
    Step 1
    Combine soy sauce, corn starch, sherry, and sugar in a large bowl. Add meat, stirring to coat with the marinade. Set aside.
  • Snow peas added to a wok.
    Step 2
    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add salt. Add snow peas and stir fry for 1 minute. Remove to a platter.
  • Snow peas removed. Onion, mushroom, and/or water chestnuts added to the wok.
    Step 3
    If adding onion, mushroom, and/or water chestnuts, this is where I do that as well.
  • Frying meat in the wok.
    Step 4
    Add more oil to wok or pan, if necessary. Then add beef mixture and stir fry 3 minutes or until meat loses its red color.
  • Cooked snow peas added back to the wok.
    Step 5
    Add snow peas to the beef and heat gently.
  • Beef mixture on top of rice.
    Step 6
    Serve over rice or as a side and enjoy!
