Categories: Asian

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp. sugar
  • 1 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1 lb. beef top sirloin steak, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 small red onion, cut into 1-inch squares
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Hot cooked rice
  • Sliced green onion, for garnish

Directions

  1. Whisk together soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, ginger, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until sugar is dissolved and mixture is smooth.

  2. Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of steak; cook until well-browned, about 3 minutes, then transfer to a bowl. Repeat with remaining steak.

  3. Add remaining 1 tbsp. oil and the onion to work. Cook, stirring, until onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes. Add bell pepper; cook, stirring, until it turns bright green and starts to become tender, about 2 minutes. Add beef, tomatoes, and sauce mixture to wok; cook, stirring, until heated through and sauce is thickened and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Serve over hot cooked rice and garnish with green onion.
