Kung Pao Beef

Henrik Andersson

Ingredients:


1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced

1 tbsp cornstarch

2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1 green bell pepper, chopped

1 onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp grated fresh ginger

1/2 cup roasted peanuts

3 green onions, sliced

For the Sauce:


1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tbsp hoisin sauce

2 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tbsp sugar

1 tsp sesame oil

1 tbsp cornstarch

1/2 cup water

1 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

Directions:


Prepare the Beef: In a medium bowl, toss the sliced flank steak with cornstarch until coated.


Cook the Beef: Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the steak in a single layer, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.


Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of vegetable oil. Add the chopped red and green bell peppers, onion, garlic, and ginger, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.


Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, cornstarch, water, and red pepper flakes.


Combine with Sauce: Pour the sauce into the skillet with the vegetables. Bring to a simmer, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.


Add Beef and Peanuts: Return the cooked beef to the skillet, tossing to coat with the sauce. Stir in roasted peanuts and mix to combine.


Garnish and Serve: Top with sliced green onions and serve immediately with steamed rice for a delicious meal.
