Equipment

1 Large Skillet

Ingredients

2 pounds thinly sliced flank steak
1 tablespoon oil
2 bell peppers
1 medium white onion
pinch of salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups white rice optional

Instructions

Add oil into a large skillet and heat on medium to medium-high temperature.
Thinly slice your steak, peppers, and onions.
Season your steak with salt and pepper, and massage the salt and pepper into the steak.
Toss the steak into the hot skillet and sear the steak. I cook the steak for about 5 minutes.
Add in the sliced peppers and onions, and saute with the steak.
Once the steak and veggies are done, work on the sauce.
Add the water, soy sauce, cornstarch, and ginger in a bowl. Whisk to combine the ingredients.
Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir, the sauce will instantly stick to the steak and veggies.
Once the sauce is thickened, serve over a bed of white rice. To cook the rice just cook as directed on the package.

Notes

Steak - Flank, flat iron, skirt, ribeye, KC strips, all work. Depending on quality of steak will vary in the tenderness of steak.

Peppers - Red bell peppers work as well as green bell peppers. You can do a mix of the two varieties if you want, or do two of the same.

Vegetables - If you want toss in other fresh ingredients. Snap peas, broccoli, zucchini, etc.

Rice - We serve pepper steak over a bed of white rice. Now you don't have to do this. You could also do brown rice, cauliflower rice, etc.
