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 for serving

Equipment

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

Method
 

  1. In a mixing 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 cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil. Toss in the sliced red, orange, and yellow bell peppers, along with the red onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
  4. Stir in the grated ginger and minced garlic, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
  5. Return the cooked flank steak to the skillet. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir well. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the steak and vegetables beautifully.
  6. Finally, add the fresh baby spinach and stir until just wilted. Remove from heat.
  7. Serve the 30-Minute Sriracha Pepper Steak over a bed of rice, quinoa, or couscous. Enjoy the burst of flavors and the delightful textures!

Notes

  • Chop all your vegetables in advance and store them in airtight containers in the fridge.
  • Marinate the steak overnight in the sauce for deeper flavor.
