Ingredients:

• 3/4 pound flank steak

• 3 tablespoons oil (for stir-frying, or as needed)

• 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic (minced)

• 5 to 6 ounces snow peas (trimmed)

• 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

• 1 to 2 tablespoons water (or chicken broth or rice wine)

For the Marinade

• 2 teaspoons Chinese rice wine (or dry sherry)

• 1 1/2 teaspoons light soy sauce

• 1 1/2 teaspoons dark soy sauce

• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

• black pepper, to taste

• 1 teaspoon sugar

• 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Instructions:

1. Gather the ingredients.
2. Cut the steak across the grain into thin strips 1 1/2 - 2 inches long. Place the beef strips in a bowl and add the marinade ingredients (the rice wine or dry sherry, soy sauces, Asian sesame oil, black pepper, sugar, and cornstarch ) one at a time, adding the cornstarch last. Mix well with the beef and marinate for 15 minutes.
3. Heat a wok or heavy skillet on medium-high to high heat, and add 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, add the beef. Let sear (brown) for a minute, then stir-fry until the redness is gone and the beef is nearly cooked. Remove the beef from the pan and drain. Wipe out the pan.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the wok or skillet. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and the snow peas. Stir-fry the snow peas, stirring continually, until they turn dark green (up to 2 minutes). Sprinkle the salt over the snow peas while stir-frying.
5. Add the beef back into the pan. Add the chicken broth, water or rice wine. Stir for another minute to mix everything together. Serve hot.
