Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak skirt, or top sirloin steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 green pepper thinly sliced, large
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced, large
- 1 yellow onion diced, medium

- ⅓ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup ketchup
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 3 garlic minced, large cloves
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes use more if you really like heat
- 2 tablespoons water cold

Instructions
- Season steak with salt and pepper.
- Heat a wok or large skillet with tall sides over medium-high heat, and then add oil. Once oil is hot, add steak and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally until just browned. Take care to not over-cook.
- Stir in green pepper, red pepper, and onion. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent.
- Meanwhile, create the sauce. In a small bowl, combine water, sugar, ketchup, rice vinegar, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
- Reduce heat to medium and then stir the sauce into the sautéed steak and vegetables. Allow sauce to simmer for a few minutes.
- In a small bowl or cup, stir the water and cornstarch until dissolved. Stir the mixture into the steak and vegetables until the sauce thickens.
- Serve hot, over rice.
