(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Asian

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 lbs. sirloin steak
  • 1/3 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp. light brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp. rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. grated peeled fresh ginger
  • 2 tsp Sriracha, plus more to taste
  • 3 garlic cloves, grated
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 4 tbsp. peanut or vegetable oil
  • 3 red and/or yellow bell peppers, sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • White rice, for serving
  • Sliced scallions and chopped fresh cilantro, for topping

Directions

  1. Freeze the steak for 20-30 minutes to firm it up, then thinly slice against the grain and put in a large bowl.

  2. Mix the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, ginger, Sriracha, garlic and cornstarch in a separate bowl. Add 1/4 cup of the sauce to the bowl with the steak and toss. Let marinate for 5-10 minutes.

  3. Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the bell peppers and cook, stirring, until blackened in spots, about 1 minute. Spread out on a baking sheet and repeat with another 1 tbsp. oil and the remaining peppers. Add to the baking sheet.

  4. Add 1 tbsp. oil to the skillet. Add half of the steak in an even layer. Let cook about 20 seconds so that is starts to color, then toss and continue cooking just until the meat is no longer pink, about 30 seconds. Empty the steak onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining oil and steak.

  5. Return the steak and peppers to the skillet and stir in the remaining sauce. Cook, tossing, until everything is well coated, about 1 minute. Serve over rice and top with scallions and cilantro.
