How To Make beef with sugar snap peas

  • 1
    Cook rice according to package direction, except omit any salt and fat (such as butter, oil).
  • 2
    Cut beef diagonally across the grain into thin slices. Combine steak and 2 tablespoons soy sauce; toss well to coat beef with soy sauce.
  • 3
    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beef and soy mixture, and sauté for about 4 minutes or until beef is lightly browned on all sides. Transfer steak to platter; keep warm.
  • 4
    Add onion and ginger to skillet, and sauté for about 2 minutes. Add peas and carrots, and sauté for 2 minutes more. Stir in the steak/soy mixture, and sauté another minute or so (enough to thoroughly heat the beef).
  • 5
    In a bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 Tbsp soy sauce, broth, hoisin and cornstarch. Add the broth mixture to the skillet, and bring mixture to a brisk boil. Let boil 1 minute or until sauce is slightly thickened, stirring constantly.
  • 6
    Serve immediately over cooked rice.
