Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak thinly sliced against the grain into 1/4-inch thick strips
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
- kosher salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Franks Hot Sauce or to taste
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 2 teaspoon toasted sesame seed oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4-6 red dried chiles
- 1 red bell pepper cut into sticks
- 1/2 cup unsalted roasted peanuts roughly chopped
- Optional: fresh chopped parsley or cilantro
- To serve: cooked rice
Instructions
- To a large bowl add the sliced beef, sprinkle with cornstarch, garlic powder, ginger powder, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well to coat.
- In a small bowl, whisk the ketchup, hot sauce, vinegar, coconut aminos and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meat in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes. You might need to cook it in 2 batches.
- Add in the chilies and red bell pepper and continue to stir fry for 2 minutes.
- Add the sauce and stir to combine. Remove from heat and sprinkle with peanuts and herbs, if desired.
Notes
- Storing: Once completely cool, place in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- Freeze: For extended storage, freeze in a labeled, freezer-safe container for up to about 3 months.
- Reheating: When reheating on the stovetop, use a non-stick pan over medium heat with a splash of water or broth to prevent sticking. Stir occasionally until thoroughly warmed. You can also microwave leftovers in a covered, microwave-safe dish in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval.
