This quick and easy dish is perfect for a satisfying dinner at home, combining key ingredients like garlic, ginger, and hoisin sauce for a meal that delights every palate.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound flank steak
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup canola oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 6 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain into 1/4-inch strips and place them in a medium bowl.
  2. Add salt and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, stir, and let sit for 30 minutes.
  3. Combine all the Sauce ingredients in a small bowl, whisk to combine, and set aside.
  4. Heat a medium-sized heavy-duty saucepan over medium-high heat with 1 cup of canola oil. Once the oil is hot, toss the beef with the last 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, then shake off any excess. Fry the beef in small batches for 2-3 minutes and set aside.
  5. Heat a large pan or wok over high heat and add 2 tablespoons of leftover beef fat.
  6. Add the onion and bell pepper, cooking for 2-3 minutes until they begin to caramelize at the edges.
  7. Add the garlic and ginger, and continue cooking for a few more seconds until fragrant.
  8. Remove the veggies and set aside.
  9. Add the sauce to the pan and cook on high until it thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
  10. Add the beef and vegetables to the sauce and toss to combine.
  11. Serve immediately with rice, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

For a spicier dish, increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes.
Pair with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
