Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Marinate the Beef
    In a bowl, combine the sirloin beef tips with minced garlic, low sodium soy sauce, water, grated ginger, chili garlic paste (if using), corn starch, honey, and baking soda. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Vegetables
    While the beef is marinating, rinse the snow peas and slice the mushrooms. Set them aside, ready to add to the skillet.
  3. Step 3: Heat the Skillet
    In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Step 4: Cook the Beef
    Add the marinated beef to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the beef is browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Step 5: Sauté the Vegetables
    In the same skillet, add the snow peas and sliced mushrooms. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  6. Step 6: Combine Everything
    Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the remaining low sodium soy sauce, flour, and honey. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2 minutes.
  7. Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
    Once everything is heated through and well combined, remove the skillet from the heat and serve warm.
