This easy-to-make dish is perfect for busy nights, offering a delicious balance of flavors with tamari (or soy sauce), garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar.

Ingredients

  • For the Asian Sauce:

    • ½ cup tamari sauce or low-sodium soy sauce
    • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (add more to taste)
    • 6 garlic cloves, minced
    • ½ teaspoon ginger
    • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar

  • For the Beef:

    • 10 oz snow peas
    • 4 tablespoons olive oil
    • 10 oz mushrooms, sliced thinly
    • 1 lb beef (sirloin steak strips, flank steak, or other boneless cuts)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Asian sauce: Combine tamari sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar in a bowl. Whisk until well combined and set aside.

  • Cook the snow peas: Bring water to a boil in a medium pan. Add snow peas and boil for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  • Cook the mushrooms: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until browned, stirring occasionally. Season with a pinch of salt. Remove the mushrooms and set aside.

  • Sear the beef: Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Add thinly sliced beef in batches, ensuring each slice touches the bottom of the skillet for optimal browning. Cook for 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove beef and set aside.

  • Assemble the dish: Return cooked beef to the skillet with snow peas and mushrooms. Pour in the Asian sauce and stir to combine. Cook for 1 more minute until heated through. Remove from heat and cover.

Notes

  • Use tamari sauce for a gluten-free option.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute beef with tofu or tempeh.
  • You can swap snow peas for other vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, or zucchini.
