Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup Soy Sauce
  • ⅓ cup Water
  • 2 tablespoons Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Corn Starch
  • ⅛ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 lb Sirloin Steak
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • ½ large Red Bell Pepper Thinly sliced.
  • ½ large Yellow Bell Pepper Thinly sliced.
  • ½ large Green Bell Pepper Thinly sliced.
  • 2 Green Onions Sliced and divided.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Ginger Minced.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Cloves Minced.

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, rice wine vinegar, corn starch, and black pepper.
  • Pour this mixture over the sliced sirloin in a large ziplock bag.
  • Seal the bag and shake gently until all the meat is coated. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Sauté the sliced peppers, the white part of the green onions, ginger, and garlic for about 3 minutes.
  • Once softened, remove them to a plate.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the wok.
  • Add half of the marinated steak, reserving the marinade liquid.
  • Stir fry the steak for 2 to 3 minutes until it browns, then transfer to the plate.
  • Repeat with the remaining steak, then transfer it to the plate as well.

Finish the Sauce

  • Pour the reserved marinade into the wok.
  • Cook and stir until it thickens, approximately 1 minute.
  • Return the previously cooked steak and vegetables to the wok.
  • Stir them together and cook for a couple of minutes until everything is heated through.
  • Top with the green onion tops and give it one more stir.
  • Serve immediately over rice or quinoa, allowing the sauce to soak into the grains for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Use equal-sized pepper slices for even cooking and consider marinating the steak overnight for deeper flavor infusion.
