Green Pepper Steak

Ingredients

• beef top sirloin steak (1 lb)
• soy sauce (1 cup)
• sugar (2 tablespoons)
• cornstarch (2 tablespoons)
• ground ginger (1/2 teaspoon)
• vegetable oil, divided (3 tablespoons)
• red onion, cut into 1-inch squares (1)
• green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch square (1)
• tomato, cut into wedge (2)

Instructions

1. Slice the steak into 1/2-inch thick slices across the grain.
2. Whisk together soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and ginger in a bowl until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
3. Place the steak slices into the marinade, and stir until well-coated.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, and place 1/3 of the steak strips into the hot oil.
5. Repeat twice more, with the remaining beef, and set the cooked beef aside.
6. Return all the cooked beef to the hot wok, and stir in the onion.
7. Toss the beef and onion together until the onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes, then stir in the green pepper.
8. Cook and stir the mixture until the pepper has turned bright green and started to become tender, about 2 minutes, then add the tomatoes, stir everything together, and serve.
