Sizzling Chinese Pepper Steak with Onions

Ingredients:

– 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain

– 2 tablespoons soy sauce

– 1 tablespoon cornstarch

– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

– 1 medium onion, sliced

– 1 bell pepper (red or green), sliced

– 2 cloves garlic, minced

– 1 tablespoon ginger, minced

– 1 tablespoon oyster sauce

– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

– 1 teaspoon sugar

– Salt and pepper to taste

– Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

– Cooked rice (for serving)

Instructions:

Marinate the Steak:

– In a bowl, combine the sliced flank steak, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the meat evenly. Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes.

Prepare the Vegetables:

– While the steak is marinating, slice the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic and ginger.

Heat the Oil:

– In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

Cook the Steak:

– Add the marinated steak to the skillet in a single layer. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

Stir-Fry the Vegetables:

– In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper, and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

– Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Combine and Season:

– Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and heat through for another 2 minutes.
