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 Beef and Snow Pea Stir Fry is so delicious and easy to make. I used the San-J Tamari Soy Sauce that I bought at Karman Foods as an alternative for an added twist of flavor and reduced it to 1-2 tablespoons only; it's perfect! Those who said it's just too salty, you can always reduce the soy sauce amount or can either use Coconut Aminos Soy-Free Seasoning Sauce, instead.

Great amount, great thickness, but agreed that it's just too salty, even with the low sodium soy sauce. I'd decrease that next time and think it would be better.

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.
