Equipment

  • Wok

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz top round beef (trimmed)
  • 4 teaspoons soy sauce (liquid aminos for paleo or whole30)
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine
  • 3 teaspoons cornstarch (or arrowroot for paleo or whole30)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion (sliced into thin strips)
  • 1 bell pepper (sliced into thin strips)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Slice beef into thin slices with the grain. Cut each strip across the grain about 1" long so you have small thin slices. Place in a bowl and add 4 teaspoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice wine, 1 teaspoon cornstarch and black pepper.
  • In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon water and 2 teaspoon cornstarch. Set aside.
  • Heat the wok on high heat. Swirl in 2 teaspoons of the oil and add the beef spreading evenly in the wok. Cook undisturbed for 20 seconds letting the beef brown. Using a spatula, stir meat, cooking another 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add remaining teaspoon of oil to wok, add peppers and onions and cook about 4 to 5 minutes. Return beef to the wok, add the sauce and red pepper flakes and stir fry about 30 seconds until slightly thickened.
