Instructions
- Prep. If needed, slice mushrooms. Thin-slice onion. Grate ginger; mince garlic. Pat shaved beef dry with paper towels (helps it sear instead of steam).
- Make the stir-fry sauce. In a small bowl whisk soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, cornstarch, and 2 tbsp water. Set aside.
- Start rice if you don’t have cooked rice. (Use whatever method you like; this dish finishes fast once the pan is hot.)
- Sear the beef on the stove. Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat with 1 tbsp oil. Add beef in a single layer (do in 2 batches if crowded). Sear 45–60 seconds, toss, then another 30–45 seconds until just browned. Remove to a plate.
- Stir-fry the veg. Reduce heat to medium-high. Add remaining 1/2 tbsp oil. Add onions and mushrooms; cook 3–4 minutes until mushrooms brown. Add ginger and garlic; cook 30 seconds.
- Add snow peas and sauce. Add snow peas; toss 1 minute. Stir sauce again and pour in. Simmer 30–60 seconds until glossy and thick.
- Finish and serve. Return beef (and any juices) to the pan; toss 30 seconds just to warm through. Serve over rice. Add chili if you like.
Health notes: ~700–900 calories per serving (depends on rice portion and oil). High protein; good veggie volume. Keep oil to 1–1 1/2 tbsp and choose modest rice to lighten.
Drink pairing: Washington Riesling (off-dry) or a light lager.
