Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (1-pound) flank steak, trimmed and cut diagonally into thin slices
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon crunchy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Directions

  1. Combine first 8 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Place steak and 1/4 cup onion mixture in a large zip-top plastic bag; seal. Marinate in refrigerator at least 2 hours or overnight, turning bag occasionally.

  2. Combine remaining 1/4 cup marinade, 1/2 cup water, peanut butter, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer; cook 1 minute, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; keep warm.

  3. Remove steak from bag, discarding marinade. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef to pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Serve with sauce.
