Stir Fry Sirloin with Snow Peas

By tulawdog

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons sherry
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
• 1 1/2 pound sirloin, fat trimmed and sliced very thin
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 8 ounces fresh snow peas
• 4 scallions, chopped and divided
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, sherry, brown sugar, cornstarch, and ginger. Add sliced meat to bowl and toss with hands. Set aside.

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

Allow pan to get very hot again. With tongs, add half the meat by spreading it out in the skillet, leaving most of the marinade still in the bowl, along with half the scallions. Let the meat sear, without stirring for one minute. Turn meat over and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove to a clean plate.

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

Serve immediately over rice
