Ingredients

1 pound lean flank steak, trimmed
¼ cup lower-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon Asian chile-garlic sauce
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil, divided
1 cup sugar snap peas, sliced in half lengthwise
1 cup sliced red onion
1 cup sliced yellow bell pepper (about 1 medium bell pepper)
2 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
¼ cup water
3 cups cooked brown rice
½ cup diagonally sliced scallions
1 Chopped fresh cilantro and crushed red pepper

Directions

Cut steak diagonally with the grain into 2-inch-thick slices. Cut slices diagonally across the grain into thin strips. Combine steak, soy sauce, cornstarch, chile-garlic sauce, ginger, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl, and stir until sauce is well blended and steak pieces are coated. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet or a wok over high. Add snap peas, onion, and bell pepper, and cook, stirring often, until vegetables are starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add garlic, and cook, stirring constantly, 1 more minute. Remove vegetable mixture from skillet to a plate. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and all of beef mixture to skillet; cook stirring often, until meat browns, about 2 minutes. Return vegetables to skillet; add water. Stir-fry until sauce is thick and coats mixture well, about 1 more minute. Serve over cooked brown rice, and top with scallions. Add cilantro and crushed red pepper, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
