BEEF AND SUGAR SNAP PEA STIR FRY RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the flank steak on a cutting board and thinly slice against the grain. You want slices that are 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Place the sliced steak in a bowl and sprinkle with the baking soda, 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce and 1 tablespoon water. Toss to combine and let marinate for 15 minutes.
• In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of reduced sodium soy sauce, reduced sodium beef stock, oyster sauce, light brown sugar and cornstarch. Stir to dissolve the light brown sugar and cornstarch. Set aside.
• Fill a medium sized pot with water, place of high heat and bring to a boil. When the water boils, add the sugar snap peas. Cook for 2 minutes. Drain the snap peas in a colander and set aside.
• After the steak has marinated for 15 minutes, heat a large sauté pan or wok over medium high heat. Add the toasted sesame oil. When the oil is hot (this will take less than a minute over medium high heat) add the steak. Let the steak sauté for a minute or so and then stir to cook evenly. You want the steak to just be cooked with still a few pink spots. It should be medium rare to medium. Overcooking the steak will make it tough.
• Pour the sauce into the the pan. Let come to a low boil then stir to finish cooking the steak and thicken the sauce. This will take about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in the sugar snap peas and toss to coat with the sauce.
• Serve the beef stir fry over the rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
