Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound flank steak thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger minced
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine the sliced flank steak, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

  4. Return the beef to the skillet. Add the beef broth, hoisin sauce, and sriracha. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  5. Drizzle with sesame oil before serving.
