A delightful stir-fry dish combining tender beef strips with fresh vegetables in a savory sauce.
Slice the green onions into 1-inch pieces, and cut the beef into thin strips.
Cutting the beef against the grain ensures tenderness.
Heat the oil in a wok over medium-high heat.
Ensure the wok is hot before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.
Sauté the garlic, celery, and mushrooms for 2 minutes.
Stir constantly to avoid burning the garlic.
Add the beef strips and cook until browned.
Do not overcrowd the wok to allow even cooking.
Mix the cornstarch with the chicken broth until smooth, then add to the wok.
Stir the mixture well to avoid lumps.
Add the snow peas, soy sauce, and tomatoes. Stir and cook until the sauce thickens.
Cook just until the snow peas are tender-crisp for the best texture.
Serve the stir-fry over hot steamed rice.
Garnish with additional green onions for a fresh touch.
