Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound flank steak (sliced against the grain into strips)
  • 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • green onions (sliced)
  • sesame seeds for garnish

Instruction

  • *NOTE: Prep time does not include marinating time*
  • Add both soy sauces, brown sugar and water to a medium bowl and stir to combine.
  • Pour half of the sauce into another bowl and set aside. (We will be using this when we cook the beef)
  • Add steak to the other 1/2 of the sauce and marinade for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • When you are ready to cook add sesame oil to a large skillet or wok.
  • Add in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Remove steak from marinade and saute for about 1-2 minutes on each side. (You want the pan to be very hot so the steak cooks quickly and browns.
  • Add red bell pepper and saute for 1 minute.
  • Add in the reserved sauce and bring to a simmer.
  • In a small bowl combine cornstarch and water.
  • Slowly add cornstarch mixture to pan. Continuously stir until sauce is thickened, about 1 minute.
  • Serve immediately with green onions and sesame seeds for garnish if desired.
