Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 2 cups fresh snow peas, trimmed
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)
• Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the beef slices, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Mix well and set aside for 10 minutes.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stir-frying until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
4. Add the snow peas and stir-fry for 2 minutes, ensuring they remain bright green and crisp.
5. Return the beef to the skillet. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, sesame oil, and beef broth. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
6. Add the cornstarch slurry and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and snow peas, about 1-2 minutes.
7. Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Serve immediately with steamed white rice.

Helpful Tips

For tender beef slices, make sure to cut the meat against the grain. If you want to add more vegetables, bell peppers and mushrooms are great options. For a touch of heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or add a dash of sriracha sauce.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water if needed to rehydrate the sauce.

Ingredient Substitutions

If you don’t have oyster sauce, you can use hoisin sauce for a slightly different flavor but equally delicious result. Tamari can be used as a gluten-free alternative to soy sauce.

Pairings

This Beef and Snow Peas Stir-Fry pairs wonderfully with steamed jasmine rice or garlic noodles. For a refreshing drink, try serving it with chilled green tea or a light sparkling water with a twist of lime.
