Quickie Beef Stir Fry Recipes

Steps:

• Season the steak with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, chile pepper, sugar and lime juice until the sugar is dissolved. Add the beef, toss to coat and set aside.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil until shimmering, about 1 minute. Add the beef and cook, stirring, until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside. Allow the liquid in the pan to reduce until thickened, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and scallions and cook 1 minute more. Add the mushrooms and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Add the snow peas, baby corn and bell pepper and continue cooking until all the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Return the beef to the skillet and toss to combine.

• NOTES: I use small package of Green Giant frozen Sugar Snap Peas so I don't have to wash and prepare the fresh vegetables.
• I microwave them for 2 minutes to defrost them.
• You could also substitute other vegetables for the pea pods such as chopped broccoli or chopped green peppers.
• You can also add more vegetables, such as carrots and/or peppers.
• I also buy the steak "thin sliced", and cut those slices up.
• Makes it cook really fast and a bit more fun to eat.
