Hot Pepper Beef

12 oz. flank steak (or skirt or flat iron steak)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. dry sherry (or rice wine)
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. cold water
1 tsp. sesame oil

Cut the beef with the grain into 2-inch-wide strips, cut each strip across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. In a medium bowl combine the beef strips, garlic, soy sauce, cornstarch, rice wine, salt, pepper and cold water. Stir to combine. Stir in the sesame oil and stir again.

½ c. chicken broth
2 tsp. cornstarch
2 tbsp. ketchup
¼ c. hoisin sauce
2 tbsp. dry sherry (or rice wine)
In a separate small bowl, combine the chicken broth, cornstarch, ketchup, hoisin sauce and the rice wine. Stir to combine.

2 tbsp. peanut or vegetable oil
½ c. thinly sliced red onions
1 large red bell pepper (or a mix of red, green, yellow peppers), about 2 cups, cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips
1 tsp. grated fresh ginger
½ tsp. red pepper flakes
½ tsp. salt
Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch skillet over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in 1 tbsp. of the peanut oil, carefully add the beef, and spread it evenly in one layer in the wok. Cook undisturbed for 1 minute, letting the beef begin to sear. Then using a metal spatula, stir-fry 1 minute or until the beef is lightly browned but not cooked through. Transfer the beef to a plate.

Swirl the remaining 1tbsp.peanut oil into the wok, add the red onions, and peppers stir fry quickly stirring for about 1-2 minutes. Add in the ginger and red pepper flakes, and stir-fry 10 seconds or until the aromatics are fragrant. Return the beef with any juices that have accumulated to the wok, sprinkle on the ½ tsp. salt, swirl the ketchup mixture into the wok, and stir-fry about 30 seconds to 1 minute or until the beef is just cooked through.

Serves 2 to 3 as a main dish with rice
