Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) flank steak, sliced thinly against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for stir-frying)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons mirin (sweet rice wine)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 medium bell pepper (red, yellow, or green), sliced into thin strips
  • 1 medium onion, sliced thin
  • 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • Cooked rice or noodles (jasmine rice or soba noodles recommended)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved. This will be your marinade. Set aside.
  2. Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain, approximately 1/4 inch thick. This ensures tenderness. Season the slices lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes. To test if it's hot enough, flick a drop of water into the pan; it should sizzle immediately.
  4. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced flank steak in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring, allowing a nice sear to develop. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as it will steam rather than sear.
  5. Flip the steak slices and cook for an additional 2 minutes until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside on a plate.
  6. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes until they start to soften, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  7. Add the snap peas, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Continue to stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp. You'll know they're ready when they are vibrant in color and slightly tender.
  8. Return the steak to the skillet and pour the marinade over the top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the steak is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly. It should be bubbling gently.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then remove from heat. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
  10. Serve the Teriyaki Pepper Steak over cooked rice or noodles. Enjoy your flavorful, colorful meal!

Keywords: When slicing the flank steak, ensure your knife is sharp and cut against the grain; this prevents toughness and enhances tenderness. A common mistake is overcrowding the pan when searing the steak. Cook in batches if necessary to achieve a good sear and prevent steaming.
