Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the beef into thin, bite-sized chunks and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  2. Toss the beef with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until evenly coated.
  3. Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat and add the beef; stir-fry until browned and cooked through, then remove and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed and sauté the pressed garlic clove for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the chopped onion and snow peas to the pan; stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the onions begin to soften.
  6. Pour in the heated chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  7. Cover the pan and let the vegetables steam for about 15-20 seconds until crisp-tender.
  8. Return the cooked beef to the pan along with the soy sauce and brandy.
  9. Dissolve the remaining 2 tablespoons of cornstarch in 1/4 cup of cold water and stir into the pan.
  10. Cook for another minute, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables.
  11. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
