Ingredients
- 1 pound lean flank steak trimmed
- ¼ cup lower-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Asian chile-garlic sauce
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil divided
- 1 cup sugar snap peas sliced in half lengthwise
- 1 cup sliced red onion
- 1 cup sliced yellow bell pepper about 1 medium bell pepper
- 2 large garlic cloves thinly sliced
- ¼ cup water
- 3 cups cooked brown rice
- ½ cup diagonally sliced scallions
- Chopped fresh cilantro and crushed red pepper optional
Instructions
- Cut steak diagonally with the grain into 2-inch-thick slices. Cut slices diagonally across the grain into thin strips. Combine steak, soy sauce, cornstarch, chile-garlic sauce, ginger, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl, and stir until sauce is well blended and steak pieces are coated. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet or a wok over high. Add snap peas, onion, and bell pepper, and cook, stirring often, until vegetables are starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add garlic, and cook, stirring constantly, 1 more minute. Remove vegetable mixture from skillet to a plate. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and all of beef mixture to skillet; cook stirring often, until meat browns, about 2 minutes. Return vegetables to skillet; add water. Stir-fry until sauce is thick and coats mixture well, about 1 more minute. Serve over cooked brown rice, and top with scallions. Add cilantro and crushed red pepper, if desired.
Notes
You can use Rib eye or New York Strip as well. Freeze and thinly slice. I also sometimes marinate the meat beforehand in Teriyaki sauce.
