Beef And Snap Peas Ramen Recipes

GARLIC BEEF AND VEGGIE RAMEN

Steps:

• OPTIONAL: marinade the meat. Toss together 1/4 cup soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and 1 tablespoon minced garlic. Very thinly slice the flank steak against the grain into 1/4th inch thick strips and then into 2 inch pieces. Place the steak pieces in the marinade and set out at room temperature for 20-30 minutes. OR cover tightly and place in the fridge for up to 8 hours. If you want this to be a true 30-minute dinner, skip this step!
• While the meat is marinating, prep and cook the veggies. Place 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok and add in the sliced mushrooms, snap peas, shredded carrots, and chopped red bell pepper. Cook over medium high heat until crisp tender and transfer to a bowl/plate.
• Remove the meat and drain off any remaining marinade. Toss the meat to coat with the cornstarch in a large plastic bag. Alternatively use your fingers to work the cornstarch into the meat. Make sure all of the meat is well coated in cornstarch.
• Add another tablespoon of oil. Heat until the oil is shimmering and then add in 1/2 the beef so it can be in a single layer. Cook without moving until the beef is well seared, about 1-1/2 minutes. Continue cooking while stirring until the beef is lightly cooked but still pink in spots, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate.
• Add in the last remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and heat until shimmering. Add the remaining beef and cook without moving until the beef is well seared, about 1-1/2 minutes. Cook for another 30 seconds. Transfer the rest of the beef to the plate.
• In that same skillet or wok, add in the sesame oil, remaining 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons soy sauce, beef stock or broth, remaining 1 and 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic, minced ginger, brown sugar* (add to your taste preference, we like a lot of sugar in this dish), and red pepper flakes.
• Stir and cook (uncovered) over medium heat until sauce thickens a bit and reduces by about a third (about 10-12 minutes). You don't want to reduce it too much so it can still generously coat all the noodles & veggies.
• In a small dish, whisk together remaining 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 1 teaspoon water until smooth. Whisk into the sauce.
• While the sauce is reducing, boil a small pot of water and cook the ramen noodles for exactly 2 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water.
• Add the cooked veggies, cooked meat, and drained ramen noodles into the sauce. Toss to coat and top with green onions. Add some cracked pepper and additional red pepper flakes if desired. Enjoy immediately.

STIR-FRIED BEEF AND SUGAR SNAP PEAS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix beef, 2 tablespoons tamari, sesame oil, salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Thinly slice sugar snap peas crosswise into disks. Thinly slice scallions, reserving dark green parts for garnish.
• In a small bowl, mix chicken broth, Madeira, 2 tablespoons water, remaining 1 tablespoon tamari and cornstarch.
• Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil. When pan is hot, stir-fry beef until browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer beef and any liquid to a plate.
• Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet and when hot, add garlic and white and light green scallion parts until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add sugar snap peas and chicken broth mixture, lower heat to medium and cover. Let cook for 2 minutes. Transfer beef and juices to skillet and stir-fry 2 minutes. Serve over rice, garnished with more sesame oil, sesame seeds, dark parts of scallions, and hot sauce or vinegar and chili oil.

BEEF RAMEN

Steps:

• Place the olive oil in a large skillet and warm over medium-heat. Add the vegetables and cook until fork tender, stirring occasionally.
• While the vegetables are cooking, start the noodles according to package directions. Don't over cook (I like to cook 2 minutes less than it says, since it will cook an additional minute with the sauce). Also, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil and ground ginger in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Remove veggies to a plate or push to one side of the pan. Add the steak to the pan and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes, then flip and cook until tender and no longer pink.
• Finally, add in minced garlic. Then push the steak to one side of the pan and pour in sauce. Let simmer for one minute. Add the noodles and cook an additional minute. Serve while hot with desired toppings. Enjoy!

ASIAN BEEF WITH SUGAR SNAP PEAS

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet until hot, add 2 tablespoons olive oil - it should sizzle. Immediately add sliced mushrooms and cook them on high heat, stirring occasionally, until they brown. Salt them midway through. Remove mushrooms to a plate.
• Microwave the peas for 2 minutes (or boil), and set aside.
• To the same skillet, on high heat, add 2 more tablespoons of olive oil. Immediately add thinly sliced meat. You might want to do this in 2 batches, because you will want each slice of meat to touch the bottom of the skillet and for meat slices not to be crowded. This will ensure that meat will brown. Cook meat until both sides are browned. Remove this batch to a plate. Add a second batch of meat, and repeat.
• Whisk together sauce ingredients and set aside.
• Return all of the cooked meat back to the skillet. Add the peas and cooked mushrooms, then the sauce. Cook on high heat for about 1 minute.
• Serve over rice.

BEEF AND SNAP PEAS RAMEN

Steps:

• Add half the ramen seasoning packet to the sliced steak and toss well.
• Cook the ramen in boiling water just until soft and the block of noodles breaks apart; do not cook to doneness. Drain and set aside.
• In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil until smoking. Add beef in one layer and allow to cook, entirely undisturbed until well-browned, about 1 minute. Toss the meat, add snap peas and cook 1 minute more.
• Add the remaining oil, the noodles, the rest of the seasoning packet, the oyster sauce and sugar. Toss well and cook 1-2 minutes.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with scallions to serve.
