   • Rinse the rice in a pot and cook according to package directions. While the rice is cooking, move on to the next steps. 🍚

2. Prepare the Steak:

   • Slice the flank steak into thin strips, approximately 2 inches long and a quarter-inch wide.
   • In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, water, vinegar, cornstarch, sugar, and salt to create the marinade.
   • Add the sliced steak to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Let it sit while you prep the veggies. 🥩

3. Prep the Vegetables:

   • Wash the pea pods and pinch off the ends.
   • Chop the green onions and slice the ginger. 🥒

4. Stir-Fry the Beef:

   • Heat a large skillet over high heat.
   • Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
   • Add the marinated steak to the skillet and fry until browned, adding more olive oil if necessary. 🥢

5. Add Aromatics:

   • Add the ginger and green onions to the skillet and fry for 1 minute. This will release their delightful aromas and flavors. 🌿

6. Cook the Vegetables:

   • Add the pea pods and sliced water chestnuts to the skillet.
   • Stir-fry until the pea pods are hot but still crisp, not soggy. If you’re using frozen peas, microwave them for 2 minutes to defrost before adding them to the skillet. 🍅

7. Serve:

   • By now, the rice should be perfectly cooked. Serve the stir-fry beef over the bed of rice, and enjoy! 🍚

📝 Notes

• For convenience, you can use a small package of Green Giant frozen Sugar Snap Peas. Defrost them by microwaving for 2 minutes before adding them to the skillet.
• Feel free to substitute other vegetables for the pea pods, such as chopped broccoli or green peppers. You can also add more vegetables like carrots and bell peppers for extra color and nutrition.
• To save even more time, buy the steak pre-sliced thin, and then cut those slices into smaller strips. This not only speeds up cooking but also makes it more fun to eat. 🍖

Enjoy this quick and easy stir-fry beef dish that’s sure to become a family favorite! Perfect for any night when you need a delicious meal without spending hours in the kitchen. 🍴👩‍🍳

Happy Cooking! 💕
