Beef With Snow Peas

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 pound flank steak
  • Marinade:
  • 1 egg white
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Other:
  • 7 to 8 ounces fresh snow peas
  • 1 cup vegetable or peanut oil for frying, or as needed
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar

PREPARATION:

Cut the flank steak across the grain into thin strips about 1 1/2 to 2-inches long. Add the egg white, 1 tablespoon soy sauce and cornstarch. Marinate the flank steak for 15 minutes. Blanch the snow peas in boiling water until they turn bright green. Plunge briefly in cold water and drain thoroughly.

Heat a wok and add 1 cup oil to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the beef and cook briefly until browned (2 to 3 minutes). Remove the beef and drain on paper towels.

Remove all but 1 tablespoon oil from the wok or clean out the wok if needed and heat 1 tablespoon oil on medium high heat. Add the ginger and stir-fry until aromatic. Add the snow peas. Stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce and the sugar. Add the beef back into the pan. Mix everything together and serve hot.

Beef With Tomatoes

Beef With Tomatoes is a quick and easy dish for busy weeknights. Serves 4.
 

INGREDIENTS:

  • 3/4 pound beef
  • Marinade:
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons water
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Pepper to taste
  • Cornstarch to lightly coat beef
  • Other:
  • 4 medium tomatoes
  • 2 green onions
  • 2 shallots
  • 2 ribs celery
  • Sauce:
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, as desired
  • 1/3 cup water

PREPARATION:

Cut the beef across the grain into thin slices approximately 1 1/2 inches long.  Place the beef in a bowl, add the marinade ingredients and mix in with chopsticks, adding the cornstarch last. If you like, you can also add a bit of baking soda to tenderize the beef. Marinate for 15 minutes. 
While the beef is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Slice the tomatoes into six equal pieces. Chop the green onions and celery into thin slices along the diagonal. Dice the shallots.

Mix together the sauce ingredients and set aside. 

Heat wok and add oil. When oil is ready, add the beef.  Stir-fry until it changes color, turning the meat over once.  Remove from the wok and set aside.  Clean out the wok and add more oil. Saute the shallots, and add the tomatoes and the celery.  Add the sauce. Cover and bring to a boil. Return the beef to the wok and mix together.  You can either add the green onion as well or serve it cold as a garnish.  Serve hot over rice.
