Happy 2018!! I am so ready for a new year and ready to start fresh and with a clean slate. I have so many things up my sleeve that I can’t wait to start tackling and kicking 2018’s butt! I’m completely re-energized and motivated more than ever.
If part of your goals for 2018 is to cook at home more, this 25-minute beef and snow pea stir fry is a GREAT start. It takes no time (25 minutes) to pull all together and best of all? I’m pretty sure you’d beat the take out guy ANY DAY by making this at home!
And if you love watching cooking shows, you should watch my brand new VIDEO below!! I walk you through the ENTIRE recipe!!
I love the crunchiness that snow peas give this dish and I love the tender beef. The sauce is SO good and you’ll want to drizzle it all over rice.
It’s a giant bowl of comfort and going to be your new favorite way to have take out…but in ;)
Don’t forget to check out the video below!! It’s right above the recipe.

I used 1 lb of beef, 12 oz of snow peas, and 1 whole onion, and still there was more sauce than needed, and even with low sodium soy sauce, far saltier than needed.

@Julie Chiou, I did. The sauce was just overpoweringly salty. It drowned out the flavors of the beef and snow peas.

So much flavour, excellent meal that I cooked last night. Changed it up and added some blanched broccoli, yue choy, some bean sprouts and sliced onion to veg mix. Cannot believe the flavour you get from the sauce. Also added a couple of dashes of worcheshire sauce. Definitely on the favourite list and will make again.

This was AMAZING! Such great flavors that melded so well together. We doubled the recipe for our family of three (very hungry people), and ended up with just enough for me for lunch the next day - fighting my husband and daughter all the way for it ;) thank you!!!
