Steak & Snow Pea Stir Fry

A quick, filling, and family-friendly meal that’s perfect for weeknights or feeding a crowd. Stir fries are a great way to stretch a pound of beef, use leftover veggies, and still serve up something satisfying. We love using Folsom Farm Beef for its clean, pasture-raised nutrition—rich in bioavailable nutrients and unbeatable flavor.

This version features tender beef and crisp snow peas in a savory, slightly sweet sauce. Feel free to swap in your favorite vegetables!

Ingredients

 
• 1 lb quality beef (sirloin, flank, skirt, flat iron, or tenderloin)
 
• 1 tbsp fresh chopped ginger
 
• 1 tbsp fresh chopped garlic
 
• 1 cup snow peas
 
• ½ chopped onion
 
• ¼ cup soy sauce
 
• ⅓ cup oyster sauce
 
• ¼ cup hoisin sauce
 
• 2 tbsp olive oil or beef tallow
 
• 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1 cup warm water (slurry)
 
• Salt & pepper
 
• Optional veggies: carrots, zucchini, broccoli, bell peppers

Instructions

1. Prep the Rice

2. Prep the Beef

 
• Pat dry and thinly slice beef against the grain.
 
• Tip: If partially frozen, it's easier to slice thin.
 
• Remove any silver skin or hard fat.
 
• Season lightly with salt and pepper.
 
• Mix in chopped garlic and ginger.

3. Prep the Veggies & Sauce

 
• Slice onions and any optional veggies.
 
• Set snow peas aside for later.
 
• Mix soy, oyster, and hoisin sauces in a small bowl.

4. Sear the Beef

 
• Heat 2 tbsp oil or tallow in a large skillet on high.
 
• Once hot and lightly smoking, sear beef in small batches.
 
• Do not overcrowd—give each piece contact with the pan.
 
• Remove and set aside once browned.

5. Stir Fry the Veggies

 
• Add beef back to the pan.
 
• Add onions and optional veggies.
 
• Cook until onions are translucent.

6. Add Sauce & Slurry

 
• Pour in sauce and stir to coat evenly.
 
• Stir in the cornstarch slurry and mix well.
 
• Let the mixture come to a boil, then reduce to medium heat.
 
• Simmer until the sauce thickens to your liking.

7. Finish with Snow Peas

 
• Add snow peas during the last minute of cooking.
 
• Stir just until heated through but still crisp.

8. Adjust & Serve

 
• Taste and adjust seasoning.
 
• Too salty? Add 1 tbsp brown sugar.
 
• Not salty enough? Add a dash of soy or oyster sauce.
 
• Serve immediately over warm rice.
 
• Optional: Serve with potstickers or egg rolls and Thai chili sauce.
