Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil, plus more for pan
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced

Method
 

  1. Whisk soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, cornstarch, 1 tbsp oil, garlic, and ginger in a bowl until smooth.
  2. Add beef, toss to coat, and let sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.
  3. Heat a slick of oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear half the beef in a single layer for 1 to 2 minutes per side, then transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining beef.
  4. Add a little more oil, then stir fry the onion and bell pepper over high heat for about 3 minutes until softened and blistered.
  5. Return beef and any juices to the skillet, stir for 1 minute, and serve immediately over rice.

Notes

Marinating can go up to 2 hours in the fridge if you want to prep ahead. The cornstarch settles over time, so give the meat a quick toss before cooking. Rest the beef for a minute on the plate so the juices redistribute before the final toss.
