A savory stir-fry with tender Swiss chard, crisp snap peas, and flavorful beef, all cooked together in a savory sauce for a quick and nutritious meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 6 ounces sirloin steak, thinly sliced

  • Kosher salt, to taste

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger

  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced on the bias

  • 1 tablespoon hot chile sauce (such as Sriracha)

  • 6 ounces sugar snap peas, ends trimmed

  • 1 bunch Swiss chard, stems removed and leaves chopped

  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

  • Heat the Oil and Sear the Beef: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Season the thinly sliced sirloin steak with kosher salt. Add the steak to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
  • Sauté Garlic and Ginger: Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the same skillet. Lower the heat to medium-high and add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add the Vegetables: Stir in the sliced scallions, sugar snap peas, and Swiss chard. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
  • Combine with Beef and Add Flavor: Return the seared beef to the skillet. Stir in the hot chile sauce and toss everything together to coat evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the beef is heated through and everything is well combined.
  • Serve with Lime: Remove the stir fry from the heat and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
