Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 pound beef top round or top sirloin, thinly sliced

  • 1/4 cup cornstarch, divided

  • 1 (14-ounce) can pineapple chunks in juice, drained, juice reserved

  • 1/2 cup beef broth

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons sambal oelek or Sriracha, or to taste

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 cup thinly sliced red onion

  • 1 cup matchstick-cut carrots

  • 7 ounces fresh snow peas, trimmed

  • 1/2 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons grated ginger

  • fresh chopped chives for garnish (optional)

  • hot cooked rice (optional)

Directions

  1. Combine beef strips and 2 tablespoons cornstarch in a bowl; toss until beef strips are evenly coated. Set aside.

  2. To make sauce, stir 1/4 cup reserved pineapple juice, beef broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sambal oelek or Sriracha together in a bowl; set aside.

  3. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add beef and onion to the hot oil, and cook, stirring quickly and constantly, until beef is browned, about 5 minutes.

  4. Stir in carrots, snow peas, and bell pepper; cook and stir about 1 minute. Add garlic and ginger and cook about 30 seconds. Stir in reserved sauce and pineapple chunks.

  5. Stir remaining cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and add to the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is thickened, 1 to 2 minutes more.

  6. Serve immediately with hot cooked rice, garnished with fresh chives, if desired.
