Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Pound (lb) beef top sirloin steak
• 0.25 Cup soy sauce
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) white sugar
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) cornstarch
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) ginger, ground
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) vegetable oil, divided
• 1 Red onion, sliced
• 1 Green bell pepper, sliced
• 2 Whole tomatoes, sliced
• 2 Cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) sesame oil
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) rice vinegar

Steps

1. Prepare the Steak: Slice the beef top sirloin steak into 1/2-inch thick slices across the grain to ensure tenderness.
2. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, white sugar, cornstarch, ground ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and rice vinegar until smooth. Add the steak slices to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Cook the Steak: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak strips in batches to avoid overcrowding, stirring until well-browned, about 3 minutes per batch. Remove the steak from the wok and set aside.
4. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same wok, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the red onion and green bell pepper, sautéing until the onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes.
5. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked steak to the wok with the vegetables. Add the tomatoes and freshly ground black pepper. Stir everything together, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until the peppers are bright green and tender.
6. Finish and Serve: Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil over the mixture, toss to combine, and serve immediately. Enjoy your savory ginger-marinated pepper steak stir-fry with a side of steamed rice or noodles.
