Ingredients

  • 1-½ pound flank steak sliced thinly, against the grain
  • ½ cups low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 Tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons oil olive, canola etc
  • ½ medium yellow onion sliced
  • 1 whole red bell pepper cored and sliced
  • cilantro leaves for garnish
  • noodles or rice cooked

Instructions

  • Mix together soy sauce, white wine vinegar, brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, garlic, and sriracha. Place sliced beef in the mixture and toss to coat. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high to high heat. When it is very hot, add in the onions and cook for less than a minute. Remove to a plate. Add bell peppers and cook for a minute. Remove to a plate.
  • Return skillet to the heat and get hot. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add ⅓ of the meat mixture, covering over the surface of the skillet. Allow to sit for 20 to 30 seconds, then turn with tongs. Cook for another 30 seconds, then remove to a separate plate. Repeat with remaining meat until all meat is browned.
  • Reduce heat to low. Add the meat, onions, and peppers back to the skillet and toss to combine. Pour in remaining sauce, the sauce the meat marinated in. Stir. Allow to simmer on low for a few minutes. Sauce will slowly thicken. Turn off heat.
  • If using noodles add in to skillet and stir. May need some pasta water to thin sauce.
  • Top with cilantro leaves. Serve immediately.
