  • Total Time: PT25M
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs Angus flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons soy sauce (divided)
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large red bell pepper, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sliced beef, cornstarch, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and Shaoxing wine. Let the beef marinate for 15 minutes to velvet the meat.
Step 2: In a small jar, mix the remaining soy sauce, dark soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil to create the shanghai angus steak glaze.
Step 3: Heat a wok or large heavy skillet over high heat until it starts to smoke. Add one tablespoon of oil and sear the beef in batches until browned on both sides. Remove and set aside.
Step 4: Add the remaining oil to the wok. Stir-fry the onions and bell peppers for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
Step 5: Add the garlic and ginger to the center of the wok and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6: Return the beef to the wok and pour the sauce over the mixture. Toss rapidly for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats every piece of the shanghai angus steak.
Step 7: Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, then serve immediately over rice.

Notes

For the best results, ensure your wok is extremely hot before adding the beef. Slicing the beef while slightly frozen makes it easier to get thin, uniform strips.
