Ingredients
  

  • 900 g beef (flank steak, sirloin, or New York strip) Cut into thin strips
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup neutral oil (like vegetable or canola)
  • 4 green onions Green parts only, cut into 5cm pieces
  • 3 bell peppers Sliced into strips
  • 1 large onion Sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 2 teaspoons powdered ginger (or double the amount if using fresh grated ginger)
  • 4-5 garlic cloves Thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce Adjust to taste

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Ziplock bag
  • Tongs or spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Coat the beef strips with cornstarch in a ziplock bag until evenly coated; shake off excess.
  2. Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat and add oil to coat the bottom; sauté bell peppers for 3-4 minutes until slightly charred, then remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add onions and sauté until softened and golden, then set aside.
  4. Add more oil if needed and sear the beef in batches, cooking for about 1 minute per side; transfer cooked beef to a separate bowl.
  5. Reduce heat slightly, add soy sauce, water, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic to the pan; allow to simmer for 1-2 minutes and add Sriracha if desired.
  6. Return the beef to the pan and toss in the sauce; add the bell peppers, onions, and green onions, stirring gently to combine and heat through for another 1-2 minutes.

For extra flavor, consider toasting the cornstarch lightly before coating the beef. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze portions for up to 2 months.
