Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Steak
- 3 Tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tsp Chinese 5 Spice Powder
- Vegetable oil
- 1 Red Bell Pepper thinly sliced
- 4 Green Onions whites only, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
Sweet Chilli Sauce
- 1/2 cup Sweet Chili sauce
- 2 Tbsp. Soy sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp. Sesame Oil
- 2 Tbsp. Honey
- 2 Tbsp. Rice Wine Vinegar
Garnish, optional
- Green Onions chopped
- Sesame Seeds
Instructions
- In medium bowl, combine cornstarch and Chinese 5 Spice Powder. Stir till well combined.
- Slice steak into 1/4 inch strips. Place in bowl with cornstarch mixture and toss to coat evenly.
- In a wok or skillet, add oil to cover the bottom of the pan. The oil should be about 1/4" high in the pan so it comes about halfway up the beef strips. Heat the oil to medium high heat.
- Add beef strips to hot oil and cook until golden and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove the beef and let rest on a paper towel.
- Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the oil. Return the pan to the burner and add red pepper strips, green onions strips and garlic to the remaining oil. Stir fry for about 3 minutes or until tender.
- In a bowl, mix sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey and rice wine vinegar. Stir well. Add sauce to pan with veggies and cook for 2 minutes. Add beef back in and toss to coat. Cook an additional 2 minutes until it is heated through.
- Serve immediately over your favorite side dish: rice noodles, jasmine rice or your favorite veggies. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
