I’m excited about this super simple, super easy, 15 minute recipe I have to share with you today.
Small pieces of steak are seasoned and cooked to perfection in a hot skillet, while beautiful snap peas, onions and mushrooms are cooked in a separate skillet, along side the steak. They are so tasty, done in under 15 minutes and are guaranteed to put a smile on the face of any teenage boy who might be living and breathing at your house, this very minute. At least, this tasty recipe has been a win for me, with my teen sons. It also works really well for meal prep, if you are into that kind of thing.
TIP: When cutting your steak, hold it with a pair of tongs over the top of your hot skillet and cut it into strips length wise, then cut each of the strips into small cubes…
...allowing them to fall into the hot pan. It’s so easy and fast to do it this way.
It really is a fantastically tasty meal. Hope some of you get a chance to try it!
Ingredients
- STEAK:
- 1 (10-12 oz) steak
- garlic salt
- 2 Tb butter
- 1 tsp minced garlic (from a jar is fine)
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- VEGGIES:
- 1 C snap peas
- 1/2 white onion, sliced
- 1 Tb water
- 1/2 (8 oz) package sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 tsp minced garlic (from the jar is fine)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet up over medium high heat. Spray with cooking spray and add the onions and snap peas. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the water and cover. Allow to cook for another minute or two, or until the snap peas are crispy tender. You want to make sure they don't get overcooked.
- Heat a separate large skillet up over medium high heat. Spray with cooking spray. Using a pair of tongs, grab your steak and hold it over the top of the skillet. Use a pair of sharp kitchen scissors to cut it into strips and then the strips into small pieces, allowing them to fall into the pan. (See video and images above for clarification).
- Sprinkle a bit of garlic salt over the beef and allow it to sear on one side, it should still be pink.
- Add the mushrooms and garlic to your onions and snap peas and allow them to cook until soft.
- Stir the beef and move it to one side of the pan. Place the butter in the pan, opposite from the beef. Allow it to melt and then add your minced garlic. Cook the garlic in the butter, just for a minute or two.
- Stir the garlic butter and beef together and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Be sure not to over cook. You want the beef to remain tender. It should still be a bit pink in the center.
- Add the soy sauce to the beef and stir. Remove from the heat, cover and allow it to sit for 1-2 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
