Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb flank steak thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch for coating beef
  • 2 tbsp oil for frying

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Toss sliced beef with cornstarch to coat. Heat oil in a wok or skillet over high heat. Cook beef in batches until crispy and browned. Remove and set aside.
