Ingredients

Beef Recipe:

  • 1 pound thinly sliced beef I used Ribeyes
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

Sauce Recipe:

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Stir Fry:

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 large red bell pepper thinly sliced, optional (this time I skipped it but I usually add it)
  • 1 large carrot thinly sliced on the diagonal OR baby carrots
  • Snow peas
  • Broccoli
  • 2 green onions

Instructions

  • Prepare the Beef: In a small bowl, combine the flank steak, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat. Then add the rice wine vinegar.
  • Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients: the soy sauce, beef broth, rice wine vinegar, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, chili garlic sauce, and cornstarch.
  • Cook the Beef: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Cook the beef in batches until browned and slightly cooked through.
  • Sauté the Vegetables: Add the red bell pepper, carrot, and snow peas to a seperate pan and cook until tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Pour 1/4 C (or desired amount) of the sauce over the veggies.
  • Combine and Cook: Return all the beef to the pan. Pour the sauce over the beef and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened and the vegetables are coated, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve: Serve immediately over rice or noodles. Garnish with green onions, if desired.
