Sweet Meat with Peas

Heat a large skillet over high heat. Pour in oil and cook the beef strips in batches, about 10 strips at a time. Only cook them for a few minutes on each side until browned. The hot skillet will sear the juices into the strips. Between each batch, put the strips on a plate or a bowl, then set aside to make the sauce.

Lower the heat and remove any extra oil you may have left over from browning the beef. Then add the minced garlic. Cook for a few minutes. Pour in beef broth, soy sauce, water and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Continue cooking on low heat for 5-7 minutes, until the sauce thickens a bit.

Season with salt and pepper. Then add cooked beef strips and peas. Cook for a few more minutes on low heat, until the peas are warmed through. Serve over rice with extra spoonfuls of sauce.
