1 1/2lbsflank or chuck steaktrimmed of fat and sliced very thin against the grain. Use a cheap cut here - no need to use expensive steak
3Tbsppeanut or olive oil
8ouncesfresh snow peascleaned & trimmed (you can use snap peas as well if that's what you have)
1 6ozCan Water Chestnutssliced & Drained
3whole scallionscut into 1/2-inch pieces on the diagonal
Cooked Rice
Instructions
In a small bowl mix together the soy sauce, water, vinegar, cornstarch and brown sugar - set aside
In a super hot wok or frying pan, heat 2 tbsp olive oil and saute the beef in batches - get some good golden brown on this stuff, that's flavor in the plan. Remove to a plate and drain.
Heat remainder of olive or peanut oil and add the garlic, ginger, snow peas and water chestnuts and saute until the peas are turning brown.
Add the beef back in and mix together - pour over the sauce, bring to a boil and mix well.
