Beef and Snow Peas

By Linda Larsen, About.com

Just five ingredients combine for a fabulous quick and hearty dinner entree. If you can't find lemon stir-fry sauce, sweet and sour would be just fine.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tbsp. oil
  • 1 lb. beef flank or round steak
  • 3 cups snow pea pods
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded carrots
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3/4 cup purchased stir-fry sauce
  • 1/8 tsp. pepper

Preparation:

Cut beef into 1/4" thick, 2" long strips across the grain. Heat oil in heavy skillet or wok. Add beef and stir fry for 2-3 minutes until beef is browned. Remove from skillet. Add pea pods, carrots, mushrooms, and water to skillet or wok.

Cover and cook over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp tender. Add beef, stir-fry sauce, and pepper to skillet. Stir fry until well heated. Serve over hot cooked rice or noodles. Serves 4
