As you've probably noticed, we love our stir fry. Many of our stir fry dishes have been with chicken in the past, so I found this variation on allrecipes.com.
INGREDIENTS:
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 lb. beef round steak, cut into thin strips
8 oz. snow peas
DIRECTIONS:
-In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice wine, brown sugar and cornstarch. Set aside.
-Heat oil in a wok or skillet over medium high heat. Stir fry ginger and garlic for 30 seconds. Add the steak and stir fry for 2 minutes or until evenly browned. Add the snow peas and stir fry for an additional 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce mixture, bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Lower the heat and simmer until the sauce is thick and smooth. Serve immediately.
COMMENTS:
-We didn't have rice wine, so we used red wine vinegar instead--a good substitute.
-This sauce was good--I'm not a big fan of soy sauce on its own, but the other things it was mixed with made it better, and a bit spicy too.
-Next time, we might vary the veggies a bit. The snow peas were great, but I think you could also get some good flavor with green/red bell peppers, onions, etc.
