In this video we will make beef with snow peas stir fry. This beef stir fry recipe will show you how to tenderize or velvet the beef, so it is tender just like it is in the Chinese restaurant. Full Recipe for Beef stir fry with snow peas below
This is a healthier stir fry using less oil and healthier ingredients.
Asian Beef and Snow Peas
• 680 g or 1.5 lbs of sliced flank steak
• 1 tsp of sea /kosher salt
• 1 egg white
• 3 Tbs cornstarch
• 2 Tsp of olive oil
• 454 g of snow peas
• 3 Tbs minced garlic
• ¼ cup of water
• 1 small onion sliced
• 2 Tbs of cane sugar or white sugar
• 3 Tbs soya sauce
• 1 Tbs dark soya sauce
• 1 Tbs of cornstarch slur ( 1 Tsp of cornstarch & 1 Tbs of water mixed )
• 1/2 Cup water ( for frying snow peas )
• 3-6 TBS of coconut oil or more for frying
• 1/2 Cup of water for sauce
• * Sea salt and black pepper for taste
Instructions:
Beef Marinate / how to velvet beef
1. Slice your beef or flank steak thinly across the grain.
2. Add 1 tsp of sea or kosher salt, 1 egg white and mix thoroughly.
3. Add the cornstarch mix evenly to coat the beef, then add the olive oil. This helps to prevent sticking when you fry the beef.
4. Cover and let it marinate in the fridge for approximately 30 minutes. This will make the beef very tender, just like in the Chinese restaurants.
Snow Peas
1. Wash, and rinse snow peas. Carefully peel the stingy sides of the snow peas off by pinching the middle top end of the snow peas, and with your other fingers pull towards you to pull the string sides off.
2. Heat to medium high a fairly large non-stick pan or wok, add 1 tsp of the minced garlic just to a sizzle, add the snow peas, and mix the snow peas and garlic for approximately 2-3 min.
3. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. You will see that the snow peas are starting to turn bight green. At this point add ¼ of water to steam the snow peas, and toss slightly, then cover with a lid for approximately 45 seconds. Remove the lid, and you will see that the snow peas are bright green. Remove to a separate bowl.
Frying the Beef
1. Add your oil of choice 3- 5 TBS ( I like to use an organic refined coconut oil for a healthier choice )
2. Fry in small batches for best results, as beef will brown nicely.
3. Remove the cooked beef into a separate bowl or even use the same bowl as snow peas.
Don’t worry if some of the beef is still pink, you will be adding it back to the pan when you cook the sauce.
4. In the same pan, add extra oil as needed. Add the onions, remaining garlic, soya sauce, dark soya sauce, corn starch mixture (SLUR) and water. * Add black pepper to taste
5. Simmer until the sauce thickens and then back the cooked beef and snow peas.
6. Toss gently, and add a splash of the dark soya sauce to deepen the colour of the beef.
*Serve over rice (I cooked jasmine rice and cooked it with some quinoa - just adding a healthier kick to traditional white rice)
