Ingredients

  • 1 pound flank steak thinly sliced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1 green bell pepper cored, seeded and cut into strips
  • 1 red bell pepper cored, seeded and cut into strips
  • 2 teaspoons garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or more to taste. I recommend using low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 cups steamed white rice or brown rice if you prefer

Instructions

Prepare the Steak

  • Slice the beef into thin strips that are 2-inch long and 1/4 inch thick (It’s best to cut against the grain). You can freeze the steak for about 30-45 minutes so that it’s much easier to cut into thin slices.
  • Lightly season the flank steak with salt and pepper.

Cook Bell Peppers and Steak

  • Add vegetable oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the sliced bell peppers and cook for about 3-4 minutes until slightly tender. Remove the peppers from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, Add garlic and ginger to the pan and cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
  • Add the steak and increase the heat to high. Cook for about 5-6 minutes until lightly browned.
  • Throw the peppers back into the pan with the steak.

Make the Sauce and Mix Everything Together

  • Whisk together the soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar, and water in a small bowl.
  • Pour the sauce over the steak and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes or just until the sauce has thickened.

Serve with Rice

  • Serve on a bed of steamed white rice, and enjoy!
