Asian Beef and Snow Peas

2 lbs beef round steak (I used a roast) cut into thin strips
8 ounces snow peas
1/2 C. soy sauce
1/3 C. beef broth
2 TB brown sugar
1 tsp cornstarch
2 TB vegetable oil
2 TB minced garlic
1/8 tsp ground ginger

In a small bowl combine the soy sauce, broth, brown sugar, cornstarch, oil, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.

Stir fry beef in 2 TB oil until cooked through (there will be juice from the beef in the pan—leave it in there). Add the snow peas and stir fry 2 minutes. Pour sauce over mixture and bring to a boil stirring constantly. Reduce heat, and simmer 2 more minutes, until slightly thickened. Serve over rice.

**If you like a thicker sauce, you can add some cornstarch mixed with water to the sauce.
