Ingredients

• 1 pound flank or skirt steak
• 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon sambal
• Juice of 1 lime, divided
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
• 1/3 cup chicken stock
• 1/2 cup + 2 teaspoons cornstarch, divided
• Canola oil for cooking
• 4 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
• 10 ounces sugar snap peas, sliced
• 5 green onion, sliced, reserve the green part for garnish
• 8 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 inch knob of ginger, minced

Instructions

1. Place the steak in the freezer until firm, about 5-7 minutes. Pull out and cut into thin slices, against the grain. Marinate with 2 tablespoons soy sauce, juice of half a lime, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, ground ginger, garlic powder and salt and pepper
2. Meanwhile, mix 2 teaspoons of cornstarch with chicken stock until smooth. Then add soy sauce, honey, sambal, rice vinegar, juice of half a lime and chicken stock together in a small bowl. Set aside.
3. Add half of the beef and 1/4 cup of the cornstarch to a large ziplock bag. Shake until evenly coated. Store coated beef on the cooling rack. Repeat with another 1/4 cup of cornstarch and remaining beef.
4. Heat a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Add enough canola oil to coat the bottom of the pan, it should come up about 1/8-inch. Once the oil is hot, add in a third of the beef. Do not crowd the pan. Cook until brown and crisp on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining beef.
5. Once all the beef is crisp, store on cookie cooling rack. Remove oil and wipe the pan clean. Add 2 teaspoons of sesame oil to the pan. Turn the heat on medium and add scallions, and ginger. Cook for about 2 minutes, to soften. Then add garlic and cook for another 2 ish minutes. Add the snow peas and sauté until vibrant green. About a minute, you want to preserve the crisp, snap of the pea. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Add beef back to the pan, along with the sauce. Stir to coat the beef and snow peas. Simmer for about 3 minutes until thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and finish with the juice of half of lime. Garnish with scallions. Serve with rice.
