Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless sirloin steak, sliced 1/4 inch thick
• 1 tbsp plus 2 tsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp plus 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
• 3 tsp soy sauce
• 2 tsp light brown sugar
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 1/2 small red onion, cut into thin wedges
• 4 oz mixed mushrooms, sliced
• 1 bunch Swiss chard, stems cut into 1/2-inch pieces, leaves shredded
• Kosher salt and ground pepper
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• Cooked rice, for serving

Directions

1. Toss the beef with 1 tbsp each cornstarch and vinegar and 2 tsp soy sauce in a medium bowl. In another bowl, stir the brown sugar, the remaining 2 tsp each cornstarch and vinegar, the remaining 1 tsp soy sauce and 1/3 cup water until dissolved.

2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and wipe out the skillet.

3. Heat the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil in the skillet over high heat. Add the garlic and red onion and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms, chard stems, 1/4 tsp salt, and pepper to taste and stir-fry until the vegetables are just tender, 4 minutes. Add the chard leave and stir-fry until wilted. Stir the brown sugar mixture and add to the skillet along with the beef, stirring, until thickened, 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Serve with rice.
