Ingredients
  

  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons corn starch
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sriracha hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 lb. flank steak thinly sliced, cut diagonally across the grain into thin strips
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil divided
  • 1 large red bell pepper deseeded and thinly sliced
  • 1 large orange bell pepper deseeded and thinly sliced
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper deseeded and thinly sliced
  • 1 medium red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger grated
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 handfuls fresh baby spinach
  • Rice, quinoa, or couscous recommended for serving

Equipment

  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Large skillet or wok
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce, water, balsamic vinegar, corn starch, and sriracha hot sauce. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the flank steak strips and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add another 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil. Toss in the sliced red, orange, and yellow bell peppers, along with the sliced red onion. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until they are tender yet still crisp.
  4. To the vegetables, add the grated ginger and minced garlic. Sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
  5. Return the cooked flank steak to the skillet and pour the sauce over everything. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Add the fresh baby spinach to the skillet, stirring until wilted, about 1 minute.
  7. Serve your Sriracha Pepper Steak over your choice of rice, quinoa, or couscous. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, warm in a skillet over medium heat for best texture.
  • For a lighter option, replace the flank steak with chicken or tofu.
