(Courtesy of Taste of Home)

Ingredients:
1/2 c. reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/2 c. sherry or water
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
2 tsp. sugar
2 Tbsp. canola oil, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 beef top sirloin steak (1 1/2 lbs.), thinly sliced
1/2 lb. sliced fresh mushrooms
1 medium onion, cut into thin wedges
8 oz. fresh snow peas
Hot cooked rice

Directions:
In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, sherry, cornstarch and sugar.  Transfer 1/4 c. mixture to a large bowl; stir in 1 Tbsp. oil and garlic.  Add beef; toss to coat.  Let beef mixture stand for 15 minutes.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add half of the beef mixture; stir fry for 1-2 minutes or until no longer pink.  Remove from pan; repeat with remaining beef.

In the same pan, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat until hot.  Add mushrooms and onion; cook and stir until mushrooms are tender.  Add snow peas; cook 2-3 minutes longer or until crisp-tender.

Stir remaining soy sauce mixture and add to pan.  Bring to a boil; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until sauce is thickened.  Return beef to pan; heat through.  Serve with rice.
