PEPPER STEAK INGREDIENTS:

1 lb Sirloin Steak

2 Bell Peppers, cut into chunks

1 Medium Yellow Onion, cut into chunks

Two Cloves of Garlic, grated or minced

2 tsp of Grated Fresh Ginger

1/2 cup of Low Sodium Soy Sauce plus 2 tbsp of water 1/4 cup of Brown Sugar

1 Tbsp of Mirin

2 tsp of Rice Vinegar

Two tsp of Sesame Oil

2 Tbsp of Neutral Oil

1 Tbsp of Cornstarch

Preparation

1) Slice the beef really thin (popping it in the freezer for 15 minutes will help the steak firm up a bit so it makes it easier to slice) add it to a bowl, add one Tbsp of soy (from the total amount above) along with one teaspoon of cornstarch, mix well and set aside.

2) In a large skillet, add a touch of oil, preheat over high heat, then in batches, sear the beef in batches for just a minute or two before removing to a plate and set aside.

3) Add another drizzle of oil then add the peppers and onions, sauté for 2 minutes while making the sauce.


4) In a bowl or measuring cup, add the soy, water, brown sugar, mirin, vinegar, garlic, ginger and cornstarch, whisk well and set aside.

5) After 2 minutes, add the seared beef back in along with the sauce, cook all together about 2 minutes, add a small splash of water if the sauce is a tad thick, then serve with scallions and starch of choice.

Transfer the pepper steak to a serving dish and garnish with a sprinkle of chopped green onions or sesame seeds for extra flavor and visual appeal. Serve hot over a bed of steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
