Beef with Snow Peas is one of those dinners I plan for and look forward to all week! It’s an absolute favorite. The tender sirloin or flank steak, sliced super thin and then marinated with garlic and soy sauce is then paired with vibrant, crisp snow pea pods for a filling, yet light meal. I love it served over fluffy rice or steamy noodles, with extra sauce for drizzling. This dish has an Asian flair with regular ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. No fussy spices or anything. It’s mild enough for the young ones in your family too; my kids love the snow peas and eat them plain. This is a quick, healthy dinner for even the busiest of weeknights!
Ingredients in Beef with Snow Peas
Low Sodium Soy Sauce – You can use regular one third cup soy sauce if you like, but low sodium tastes just as good and keeps the salt content down. Chicken Broth – again, you can use low sodium broth if you want. This also tastes delicious with beef broth or even vegetable broth. Garlic – two cloves garlic, or a couple of tablespoons minced garlic. Beef Sirloin Steak – For this beef with snow peas recipe I like to use a couple of good beef sirloin steaks and slice them as thinly as possible with a sharp knife. But flank steak or skirt steak will work wonderfully too. The longer you marinate the sliced meat, the more tender and flavor-filled it becomes. For even more tender steak, make sure to slice against the grain, and very thin. The slices of steak will cook up really fast and are never tough. Cornstarch – mix together with a bit of cold water or soy sauce mixture to thicken up the rest of the marinade for a delicious sauce. Fresh Snow Peas – find them in the produce section of the grocery store or grow garden pea pods. They’re yummy to eat in this recipe or alone. Canola Oil – for sautéing
All About Snow Peas
Snow Peas are similar to sugar snap peas. The whole crispy pod can be cooked and eaten or eaten raw. Plus they’re so good for you! Snow peas are a terrific source of vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium, iron, magnesium, and other nutrients. I love them on top of a green salad or in stir fry recipes like this beef with snow peas. When cooked on a high heat for a good minute or two they turn a bright green. They add a sweet flavor and crunchy texture when they aren’t overcooked. Just chop the tops and bottoms of the pea pods off and cook for just a couple of minutes. Perfection.
