BEEF CURRY STIR-FRY

Simple everyday ingredients combine to create this somewhat exotic stir-fry.

1 lb (500 g) Beef Stir-fry Strips
½ cup (125 mL) teriyaki sauce
1 clove garlic
2 onions
1 carrot
3 tbsp (45 mL) peanut or vegetable oil
3 tbsp (45 mL) curry powder
1 cup (250 mL) chicken broth or stock
⅓ cup (75 mL) whipping cream
⅓ cup (75 mL) shredded coconut or chopped roasted peanuts
2 cups (500 mL) snow peas
  Chopped green onion or fresh coriander
  1. Combine beef strips with teriyaki sauce in large sealable freezer bag; seal and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, mince garlic and cut onions and carrot into thin slices.
  2. Drain beef, discarding marinade. Heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil in wok or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook beef, in 2 batches, for 1 minute per side or until browned but still pink inside. Remove from wok.
  3. Add remaining 2 tbsp (30 mL) oil to wok; stir-fry garlic, onions and carrot over medium-high heat until softened about 5 minutes. Add curry powder; stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in broth, cream, coconut and reserved beef strips; bring to boil and simmer for 1 minute. Stir in snow peas; cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Serve garnished with green onion.
