Ingredients
  

  • 900 g beef like stew meat, 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 cut into strips
  • 1 large onion cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 2 tsp ginger powder or double if using fresh grated ginger
  • 4-5 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp Sriracha sauce adjust for your preferred spice level

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Good sharp knife and cutting board
  • Large zip-top bags or a bowl for coating
  • Tongs and a slotted spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Place beef strips and cornstarch in a large zip-top bag, seal tightly, and shake to coat evenly.
  2. Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat and add oil to coat the bottom.
  3. Add bell pepper strips to the hot oil and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes; transfer to a bowl once slightly softened.
  4. In the same pan, add onion slices and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly translucent and golden-brown; transfer to the bowl with the peppers.
  5. Add remaining oil to the pan and sear beef in batches for about 1 minute per side until crisp and browned; transfer to a clean bowl.
  6. Pour off most of the oil from the pan, leaving the browned bits, and reduce heat to medium.
  7. Add soy sauce, water, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic; whisk and bring the sauce to a boil and let it bubble for 1-2 minutes.
  8. Return seared beef to the pan and stir until coated with sauce; add back peppers, onions, and green onions; toss gently and serve immediately over hot steamed rice.
