A lightly sauced, quick, flavorful Asian style dish. We had it with a side of garlic butter rice.

Ingredients

4-6 servings
  1. 2boneless ribeye steaks, fat removed, thinly sliced
  2. 1/2 c.cornstarch
  3. 1/3 c.soy sauce
  4. 2 T.honey
  5. 1/2 tsp.sriracha (1/4 tsp. if you want less heat)
  6. 1 T.rice wine vinegar
  7. 1 T.mirin
  8. 1/3 c.beef broth
  9. 2 tsp.cornstarch
  10. 8 oz.snow peas
  11. 3 clovesgarlic, minced
  12. 1 T.sesame oil
  13. 2green onions, chopped
  14. (Canola oil for frying steak strips)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Toss the thinly sliced steak pieces in 1/2 c. cornstarch until well coated. Shake off excess and set aside.

  2. 2

    Whisk together sauce ingredients, including 2 tsp. cornstarch, and set aside.

  3. 3

    In large, deep skillet heat about 1/2 inch of canola oil on medium-high heat until very hot. Fry steak in 3 batches so as not to crowd in skillet, stirring and tossing (I use a kitchen spider), until crispy, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack on a baking sheet, and keep warm in oven.

  4. 4

    Remove canola oil from skillet and wipe clean with paper towel.

  5. 5

    Add sesame oil to skillet, over medium-high heat, and let it get hot. Add snow peas and garlic, tossing to coat with the oil. Cook for 30-60 seconds, add sauce mixture, crispy steak, and green onions and stir to coat. The sauce will thicken quickly. Serve immediately so the snow peas stay crisp and don't overcook.

  6. 6

    NOTE: Some may be tempted to leave out the sriracha, but don't! It's an important part of the flavor profile. If you don't like spicy heat, just add 1/4 tsp, or even a little less.

My 5 siblings and I were raised in the 1950s and 60s midwest by a major foodie dad who was a great cook. We all learned to cook at a young age. I love to cook for my 2 daughters, 7 grandkids, 8 great-grandkids, and extended family. My 4 year old great-grandson makes my day when he says "Nan sure is a good cooker!". :-). I'm trying to get all my favorite recipes saved here so my family and friends all have easy access to them even after I'm gone. My Cookpad collection is their inheritance, so I try to add my comments and memories to each recipe; that way they'll remember me with a smile when they use the recipes years from now. Recently I've called on my grandkids (all adults and avid cooks) to send me their own favorite recipes, with their prep photos, so we can collect everyone's favorites together in one place.
