Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 1/4 lbs flank steak cut across the grain into thin strips
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 2 medium red peppers seeded and thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated or minced fresh ginger
  • fresh cilantro
  • 2 cups cooked rice for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, combine the rice vinegar, soy sauce, orange zest, sugar and 1 teaspoon of the cornstarch.  Set aside.
  2. Place the steak in another bowl.  Season with salt and pepper, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and stir to coat the meat.
  3. In a large wok or skillet, heat the oil over high.  Add the steak, working in batches if needed, and stir fry until browned but just short of being cooked through, about 2 minutes.  Transfer the meat to a plate, then add in the onion, peppers, garlic and ginger.  Stir fry until the vegetables are just tender about 5 minutes.  Add the steak back into the vegetables and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Pour the sauce mixture over the meat and vegetables and cook until it has thickened, 2-3 minutes. 
  5. Garnish the stir fry with cilantro and serve over rice.
