Ginger Beef
Tasty, Lightly Spicy Ginger Beef Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 lb sliced flank steak
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red pepper
- 1 medium onion
- 2 tsp fresh ginger
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 2 tsp mustard
Instructions
- Prepare all of the ingredients before you begin cooking.
- Mix the sauce and set it aside. You will need to grate tsp of fresh ginger. I use a zesting tool, but if you don't have one, you can use the small holes on a box grater. If you have no tools, dice the two teaspoons as finely as possible.
- Stir the brown sugar, soy sauce, and water together. Add the mustard and mix until combined. Add the ginger, stir, and set aside.
- Prepare the red pepper and onion by slicing into strips. Make sure to remove the seeds from the pepper. Set the veggies aside.
- Slice the steak into thin strips. I used flat iron steak, but that is rather expensive, so flank steak is fine. You can even use a cheaper cut of meat if necessary.
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. Add the steak.
- Cook the steak, turning the slices occasionally, until cooked through, about four minutes.
- Remove the steak to a plate and keep warm.
- Add the veggies to the frying pan. If the pan is dry, add a bit more olive oil.
- Cook the veggies until soft, about 4-5 minutes.
- Once the veggies are cooked, return the steak to the pan.
- Pour the sauce over the entire mixture and simmer at a low heat for at least five minutes. Don't let the sauce evaporate.
- I love serving this over a bowl of cooked jasmine rice.
