Well day 3 is the most frustrating day I've had in a long time, however this meal made it better it takes 5 minutes prep and 7 minutes to cook.


Stir-Fried Beef and Snow Peas

3 scallions thinly sliced

3/4 pound boneless sirloin steak trimmed and cut in 2 inch slices
1/2 pound snow peas fresh or frozen
1 can sliced water chestnuts drained
 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon cornstarch

1. Spray a large nonstick wok or deep skillet with pam and set over high heat until a drop of water sizzles in it.  Add scallions, garlic, and ginger; stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.  Add beef and stir-fry until browned, 3 minutes.  Add snow peas and stir-fry 1 minute.  Add water chestnuts and stir-fry 30 seconds.  Stir in soy and orange juice;  bring to a simmer and cook for 20 seconds.

This meal is great on rice or with pasta.  I cooked rice noodles and added them to the stir-fry before serving.

PS for those times when you need a quick fantastic meal.  Ali ate it as well.
