Chinese Pepper Steak

INGREDIENTS

1 pound beef top sirloin steak

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons white sugar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

1 red onion, cut into 1-inch squares

STEPS FOR DUMMIES

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. Place the steak slices into the marinade, and stir until well-coated

3. Heat 3 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, and the steak strips into the hot oil. Cook and stir until the beef is well-browned, about 5 minutes.

4. And then stir the cooked beef in the onion. Toss the beef and onion together until the onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes, then stir in the green pepper

5. 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.
