Ingredients

  • 1 pound flank or sirloin steak
  • 2 tbsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce 
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar or honey
  • 1/2 tsp cornstarch mixed

Instructions

  • Pat the steak dry and season with 1 tablespoon salt and pepper. Don’t skimp — flavor starts on day one. Let it sit 10 minutes if you’ve got time.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add oil. When the oil shimmers, toss in the steak in a single layer. Sear 1–2 minutes per side until browned but not cooked through. Remove to a plate.
  • In the same skillet, add onions and peppers. Sauté 4–5 minutes until they soften and caramelize a bit. Garlic goes in for the last 30 seconds so it doesn’t burn.
  • Return the steak to the pan. Stir in soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar. Cook 1–2 minutes until the sauce starts to coat the meat nicely.
  • Stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with parsley or scallions if you’re feeling fancy.
