  3. Step 3: Add 10 oz trimmed snap peas and cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Return the steak to the pan.
  4. Step 4: Whisk together 3 tbsp coconut aminos, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a bowl, then pour over the steak and snap peas. Cook for 1 minute more until sauce thickens and coats everything.

How long does Beef & Snap Pea Stir-Fry with Ginger-Tamari Glaze take to make?

Total time is about 27 minutes (15 min prep + 12 min cook). Most home cooks find this fits comfortably into a weeknight; double the batch on Sunday for two dinners.

How do I store leftover Beef & Snap Pea Stir-Fry with Ginger-Tamari Glaze?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep avocado oil from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Beef & Snap Pea Stir-Fry with Ginger-Tamari Glaze?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Beef & Snap Pea Stir-Fry with Ginger-Tamari Glaze for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 2 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 2). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.

Is Beef & Snap Pea Stir-Fry with Ginger-Tamari Glaze high protein?

Yes — this recipe is tagged high protein based on its ingredient list. Always cross-check labels for packaged ingredients (sauces, broths, condiments) since formulations vary by brand.
