Preparation

Step 1

Combine teriyaki and ginger in medium bowl. Add beef and toss to coat. Marinate for 10 minutes.

Drain beef, reserving marinade. Stir reserved marinade into cornstarch in small bowl.

Heat wok over medium high heat 2 minutes or until hot. Drizzle 1 T oil into wok and heat for 30 seconds. Add half of beef; stir fry 2 to 3 minutes or until beef is barely pink in the center. Remove beef to large bowl. Repeat with remaining beef.

Drizzle remaining 1 T oil into wok and heat 30 seconds. Add onion; cook 3 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally. Add snow peas; stir fry for 3 minutes for fresh or 1 min for thawed package. Stir marinade mixture until smooth and add to wok. Stir fry 30 seconds or until sauce boils and thickens.

Return beef, any accumulated juices and tomatoes to wok; cook until heated through. Serve over rice. Sprinkle with black pepper if desired.
