Today was a bit of a return to my roots. My dad used to cook dinner for my mom and I every night and one of the dishes that I remember from back in the day was beef and snap peas. So I decided to make my version with just a few minor changes.
The first step was marinating the meat. I took about 3/4 lb of top sirloin steak and sliced it into small strips of about 1 in by 1/2 in. I placed the pieces in a bowl with a some oyster sauce, sweet chili sauce and soy sauce and added a touch of honey, yellow mustard, sesame oil, salt and pepper. I sat them in the fridge covered for about 2 hours.
Then, I took about 1 lb of haricot verts, snapped the ends off of them, and split the long pieces into about 3 inch pieces. I boiled them for about 4 minutes, then set them aside.
To finish, I sweat about 1/2 a yellow onion, 3 cloves of roughly chopped garlic and a dried red pepper for a few minutes over medium low heat then added the meat/marinade mixture and turned up to medium high, added the haricot verts and finished cooking it all for about 4-5 minutes.
It was delicious, just as I remembered. thanks, Dad!
