Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound kosher flank steak thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce ensure it's kosher
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 1 large red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 large green bell pepper sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1/2 cup beef broth ensure it's kosher
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper freshly ground

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine the sliced steak with soy sauce and cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the steak in batches and sear until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Sauté the onion, red and green bell peppers until they are tender, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add garlic and ginger to the pan and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  5. Return the steak to the pan along with the beef broth, black pepper, brown sugar, and rice vinegar. Stir to combine and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
  6. Serve hot, optionally garnished with green onions or sesame seeds, alongside steamed rice or roasted potatoes.

Notes

For a spicier version, add sliced chili peppers or a dash of hot sauce to the dish. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
