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.
This 25-minute beef and snow pea stir fry is the perfect weeknight dinner option!
- 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons michiu Chinese cooking wine*
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons corn starch
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 10 ounces snow peas
- 3/4 pound thinly sliced flank steak
- In a measuring cup, whisk together soy sauce, water, cooking wine, brown sugar, and corn starch. Set aside.
- In a skillet, over medium-high heat, add vegetable oil. Once oil is heated, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the snow peas and cook until bright green, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside on a plate.
- Add the flank steak to the skillet and cook until mostly cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the snow peas back into the skillet then pour sauce in. Let simmer and thicken for 3-5 minutes, stirring and tossing to incorporate everything.
- Serve with white rice.

If you don't have michiu Chinese cooking wine, you can use mirin, which is Japanese cooking wine.

Love a recipe that comes together fast!
Loving loving loving. Also can we talk about The Royals soon.
Love this simple, easy to make meal. My boys would love this–bookmarked.
looks so good and love that shiny sauce!!
What a quick and tasty stir fry!
With weeknights so crazy these days, I need more delicious, time saving recipes like this in my life!
Crazy love this recipe!!!
That sauce looks like the perfect consistency, the peas look so crisp, and the meat looks tender and delicious. It doesn’t get better than this, yum!
This looks so comforting! And I love how quickly it comes together!
Wonderful recipe! Tastes so good. I had to double it for the family and it still turned out well. I also added more veggies (zucchini and onion), but it would have tasted perfect without it.
Wonderful to hear, Becca!
I love your recipe! Used broccoli cause that’s what I had in the refrig. Bought mirin. Loved the sauce! I plan to use it for all my stir fry recipes! Much Aloha!!
I have a pork tenderloin that needs to be used, (and the snow peas) so I’ll use that. I’m sure it will be a winner as I love all the ingredients. May add a bit of oyster sauce too.
I hope you enjoy!
OH MY GOODNESS! I made this tonight and it was soooo good!
Yay!! So great to hear!!
I made this last night and it was a hit with me and my husband!
Awesome!!
Julie, the ads on your site are really getting annoying. They are covering the entire recipe so you can’t read it, and there is no way to click them off. As much as I love your recipes, it’s almost to the point I don’t want to even click to the blog. Sorry, but thought you should know in case no one else is complaining about it.
Hi Cherie. Thanks for your feedback. I just checked and the ads do not cover the recipe and there is ALWAYS a way to click them off. It is policy that all my ads have that ability. I’m not sure what browser you are in or device, but please email me (julie@tablefortwoblog.com) a screenshot so I can send it to my ad management team so we can try to diagnose what is happening. I’m sorry you feel this way but ads pay the bills for this site. There is a WHOLE LOT that goes on behind the scenes with a website that posts recipes and other resources for free/for everyone, such as: photography equipment, food costs, web hosting, my time, and more. If you would prefer to pay a monthly or yearly subscription fee for an ad-free site, please let me know and I can consider that for an upcoming feature. I get very few complaints about ads; I would say average less than 10 complaints per year.
Hi there- do you think this could be made in a slow cooker instead?
No, it wouldn’t make much sense to because the beef cooks so fast
