Chinese Pepper Steak Stir Fry
INGREDIENTS
- 455g beef top sirloin steak
- 60ml soy sauce
- 25g white sugar
- 15g corn starch
- 0.9g ground ginger
- 45ml vegetable oil
- 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch squares
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
- 2 tomatoes, cut into wedges
METHOD
- Slice the steak into 1/2-inch thick slices across the grain.
- Whisk together soy sauce, sugar, corn starch, and ginger in a bowl until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Place the steak slices into the marinade, and stir until well-coated.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, and place 1/3 of the steak strips into the hot oil.
- Cook and stir until the beef is well-browned about 3 minutes, and remove the beef from the wok to a bowl.
- Repeat twice more, with the remaining beef, and set the cooked beef aside.
- Return all the cooked beef to the hot wok, and stir in the onion.
- Toss the beef and onion together until the onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes, then stir in the green pepper.
- Cook and stir the mixture until the pepper has turned bright green and started to become tender, about 2 minutes, then add the tomatoes, stir everything together, and serve.
