- 1 1/2-2 lbs top round or flank steak thinly sliced into strips across the grain
- 1 tsp salt divided use
- 1 tsp black pepper divided use
- 3 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 large red bell pepper seeded and sliced
- 1 large green bell pepper seeded and sliced
- 1 medium white onion thinly sliced
- 3 large garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp minced ginger
- Sauce:
- 2/3 cup soy sauce or teriyaki sauce
- 2/3 cup beef stock or water
- 3 Tbsp light brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnishing
Instructions
- Sprinkle steak with 1 Tbsp of cornstarch, 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Toss to lightly coat.
- Heat 1 Tbsp vegetable oil in a large 12 inch skillet over medium high heat. To the pan add the bell peppers and onion. Season with remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or just until crisp tender and beginning to brown.
- Add the garlic and ginger to the pan cooking for 1 minute longer. Remove from the skillet to a platter and keep warm.
- Add remaining 2 Tbsp oil and sesame oil to the skillet. Add the steak strips in a single layer to the pan.
- Cook in batches over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes. Adjust cooking time depending on the thickness of the steak, adding additional oil as needed. Remove using a slotted spoon to the same platter with the bell peppers and onion.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together the remaining 3 Tbsp cornstarch with soy sauce, beef stock, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar and crushed red pepper flakes.
- Once all of the steak has cooked, add bell peppers and onion back to the pan. Pour the sauce over the steak and pepper mixture and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes over medium-high heat stirring constantly to coat and the sauce has thickened.
- Serve immediately over white rice garnished with sesame seeds and green onion.
