  • Seasonal veggies:

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425.

  2. Thinly sliced the scallions and garlic. Peel and mince the ginger. Slice the jalapeno crosswise into 1/8-inch rings. Cut the bell pepper lengthwise into 1/4-inch wide strips. Cut the steak against the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices. Prepare the veggies as above.

  3. On a baking sheet, toss the veggies with 1 tbsp. of the canola oil, salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer and roast until browned and tender.

  4. While the veggies roast, in a large pan, heat the remaining 1 tbsp. canola oil over medium-high heat. Season the steak all over with salt and pepper. When the oil is just smoking, add the steak and cook until browned on the outside and medium-rare, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the steak to a plate and set aside.

  5. Return the pan to medium heat and add the scallions, garlic, ginger, jalapeno, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring, until the veggies are softened, about 3 minutes.

  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, soy sauce and vinegar.

  7. Add the steak, veggies and soy sauce mixture to the jalapeno and bell pepper over medium heat. Stir to combine and cook until the sauce is heated through and the steak is well coated, about 2 minutes. Taste the stir-fry and add salt and pepper as needed.
