Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 1 tablespoon Chinese black vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Chinese five spice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
- ½ yellow onion diced
- 1 cup sugar snap peas cut in half
- 1 cup broccoli chopped
- 1 red bell peppers sliced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ⅔ cup Szechuan sauce
- 1 stalk green onion chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Slice 1 pound flank steak into ¼ inch slices about 3 inches long. Prep all your vegetables and set them aside.
- In a large freezer bag, mix together the 1 tablespoon Chinese black vinegar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 teaspoons Chinese five spice, and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Add the flank steak to the bag and shake to coat evenly. Let the steak marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 of the 3 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak to the wok and sear the beef until it is browned on each side. Don’t cook it too long; it will continue to cook with the vegetables.
- Remove the steak from the wok, and add another tablespoon of vegetable oil, ½ yellow onion, 1 cup sugar snap peas , 1 cup broccoli , and 1 red bell peppers . Sauté until the vegetables have begun to tenderize and the onions are transparent.
- Add the minced 1 clove garlic and seared beef and sauté for a few minutes. Reduce the heat to medium. Pour ⅔ cup Szechuan sauce over the steak and vegetables, stirring until the sauce evenly coats everything.
- Remove the Szechuan beef from the wok, serve it over rice, and garnish it with the chopped 1 stalk green onion. Enjoy!
