Ingredients

FOR THE STEAK

  • 1 lb flank steak thinly sliced (about 1/4 inch thick)
  • 2 tsp light soy sauce
  • 2 tsp cooking oil
  • 2 tsp corn starch

FOR THE SAUCE

  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp corn starch

REST OF THE DISH

  • 2 tbsp cooking oil
  • 2 bell peppers cut into strips
  • 1 medium sized onion sliced
  • 1/4 inch thick ginger cut into strips
  • Dash of black pepper optional

Instructions

  • Marinate the flank steak with the light soy sauce, cooking oil and corn starch and set aside for 15-30 minutes.
  • In a bowl, add all the sauce ingredients and mix thoroughly.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil on a wok or large pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add the bell peppers and onions and stir-fry until tender, approximately 5 minutes. Set aside on a plate.
  • Heat the remaining tablespoon of cooking oil on the same wok or pan and add the sliced ginger. Allow ginger to cook for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the marinated steak. Cook until steak is slightly pink, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the peppers and onions back into the pan with the steak.
  • Give the sauce mixture a quick whisk to loosen up the corn starch, then pour it into the pan.
  • Mix the sauce with the beef, onions and peppers, until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
  • Top with a dash of black pepper (optional), mix then serve.
