This stir-fry takes a little longer to prepare, since the meat has to marinate firstbut it's well worth the wait! Our Test Kitchen staff tossed together the pleasing combination. Ingredients:
4 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce, divided |
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar |
1-1/2 teaspoons minced garlic, divided |
1 teaspoon brown sugar |
3 teaspoons minced fresh gingerroot |
1 pound beef top sirloin steak, cut into 1/4-inch strips |
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
1/2 cup beef broth |
2 tablespoons ketchup |
2 tablespoons sherry or white wine vinegar |
1 tablespoon steak sauce |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
4 teaspoons canola oil, divided |
2 large sweet red peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces |
6 green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces |
8 ounces fresh snow peas |
hot cooked rice, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon garlic, brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger or 2 teaspoons gingerroot; mix well. Add the beef. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 1 hour, turning once. In a bowl, combine the cornstarch, broth, ketchup, sherry or vinegar, steak sauce, cayenne and remaining soy sauce until smooth; set aside.
2. In a large nonstick skillet or wok, stir-fry beef in batches in 2 teaspoons hot oil until no longer pink. Remove and keep warm. In the same pan, stir-fry red peppers and onions in remaining oil for 2 minutes. Add the peas and remaining garlic and ginger; stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Return beef to the pan. Stir broth mixture and add to the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with rice if desired. Yield: 4 servings.
