Tender, saucy strips of steak with crispy peas and on the table in way less than 30 minutes! Yes please!

Ingredients:

 2/3 lb (300g) stir fry sliced steak

salt and pepper to taste

2 tbsps cornstarch

1 tsp minced garlic

1/2 red onion, sliced

1 small yellow onion, sliced

2 tbsps vegetable oil, divided

200g snow or snap peas (about 1/2 lb)

pinch red pepper flakes

 

Sauce:

1 1/2 tbsps brown sugar

1 1/2 tbsps soya sauce

1 tsp oyster sauce

1/4 cup warm water

 

Toss the steak, salt, pepper and cornstarch together to coat the meat and set aside. Mix the sauce ingredients together and set aside.

Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet or wok to medium high heat. Add beef and cook until no pink remains then remove to a plate. Add 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the pan and toss in the onions, garlic, peas and red pepper flakes. Cook for 5 minutes, return the beef to the pan and pour in the sauce.

Cook until sauce is reduced, about 1-2 minutes.

Serve it with rice or noodles.
