Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 pounds flank steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 3 tablespoons peanut oil

  • 1 small red onion, chopped

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger

  • 1 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce

  • ¾ cup brown sugar

  • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce

  • 2 ½ cups frozen green beans, thawed

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced

  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

  1. Sprinkle cornstarch, salt, and pepper over flank steak. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.

  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak in the hot oil until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove steak from skillet using a slotted spoon.

  3. Add onion and garlic to the same skillet. Cook until onion starts to soften, about 2 minutes. Add ginger; cook until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, and hoisin sauce. Cook until sauce has thickened, 5 to 7 minutes more. Reduce heat; add green beans and bell pepper.

  4. Add steak back to the skillet; toss in the sauce until well coated. Add red pepper flakes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook and stir until stir-fry is heated through, about 5 minutes more.
