Ingredients

  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 cups snow peas, trimmed
  • 1 1/2 cups mushrooms (shiitake, cremini, or button), sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch (plus more for coating beef)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil, divided
  • Optional: sliced green onions, sesame seeds, cooked rice or noodles for serving

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice the beef against the grain and toss with 2 teaspoons cornstarch. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, 2 teaspoons cornstarch, and sesame oil. Set the sauce aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining oil to the skillet and stir-fry the mushrooms until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Add the garlic and snow peas. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the peas are crisp-tender.
  6. Return the beef to the pan. Pour in the sauce and stir well. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is evenly coated.
  7. Serve hot over rice or noodles, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • Swap snow peas for broccoli, snap peas, or bell peppers.
  • Add chili garlic sauce or sriracha for heat.
  • Serve over cauliflower rice or lettuce cups for a low-carb version.
  • Prep ingredients ahead of time for a quicker cooking process.
  • Use tamari and gluten-free hoisin sauce to make it gluten-free.
