This Beef And Snow Peas recipe comes from The Pioneer Woman, and I do love her recipes. The picture on her blog for sure looks better. Don’t you all wish you were her? Just a little? Maybe not want to actually BE her, but have her success. I do. *Sigh*
Anyway, I’m still not sure how I really feel about this meal. It was good, it was a nice change from chicken, snow peas are yummy, buy it was just not all there for me. Now, I really did enjoy this. It was a yummy sauce, the beef was thin and tender, the snow peas were crisp, so it really was a great meal. I would totally make it again, but with a few changes.
I thought it need more sauce, a little more flavor to the sauce (maybe not skip the red pepper?) and I’d love a few more veggies. In fact, I’d love to throw in some red pepper and carrots. To me that would be perfect. I did add toasted sesame seeds in place of the green onion. We are more toasted sesame people.
So, pretty much I say make it. Double or even triple the sauce, don’t leave out the red pepper and throw in a few extra veggies. Let me know how it goes.

Is There Another Name For Flank Steak?
Sometimes Flank steak is called “London Broil”, or 5 Skirt steak.
Flank steak is a long, flat cut of beef that is considered to be one of the cheapest and toughest cuts but has lots of flavour.
It’s best suited to braising and will benefit from marinating, and is usually cut into thin slices for fajitas, stir-fries, or even an at-home Philly cheesesteak.

- With tongs, add half the meat mixture, leaving most of the marinade still in the bowl.

- After turning it, add the first plateful of meat, the rest of the marinade, and the snow peas.

- Check seasonings and add salt only if it needs it. Mixture will thicken as it sits.
