Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds (approximately 680 grams) flank steak
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine or pale dry sherry
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon Asian chili sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice wine
1–2 tablespoons Asian chili sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground Szechuan peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
About 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 red bell pepper
1 medium onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
6 medium garlic cloves
Vegetable or peanut oil
Instructions
1-Begin by preparing your ingredients to ensure everything flows smoothly during cooking. You’ll slice the beef thinly and mix up the marinade, which infuses the meat with great flavors.
2-First, marinate the beef by combining all the marinade ingredients and massaging them into the meat. Let it rest for 30 to 60 minutes at room temperature or up to 8 hours in the fridge to soak in those tasty notes.
3-Next, heat a large skillet until it’s very hot, add oil, and sear half of the beef in a single layer for about 1 minute per side. This keeps it from overcooking and locks in the juices, then set it aside covered. Repeat with the remaining beef to get that perfect sear.
4-After that, in the same skillet, add more oil and sautΓ© the onions for 2 minutes. Then, add the bell peppers, garlic, and ginger, and cook for an additional minute so the veggies stay crisp and full of flavor.
5-Now, return the beef to the skillet, stir in the prepared sauce, and cook everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and the beef is fully cooked. Adjust the spiciness to your liking for a personalized touch. For a fun twist, try pairing this with a refreshing blueberry lemonade for the perfect meal balance.
6-Serve it right away with rice, quinoa, or noodles, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if you want to add some extra flair. This method ensures the dish’s numbing heat from Szechuan peppercorns shines through, making it a hit for busy parents and food enthusiasts.
