Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound eye of round steak
- 12 ounces green beans (trimmed)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 whole red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 1 medium onion (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the eye of round steak and slice it thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips.
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, black pepper, and cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water. Stir until the cornstarch dissolves completely, creating a sauce, and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak strips and season lightly with salt. Sear the meat for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the trimmed green beans to the skillet and stir. Pour in the beef broth, cover the skillet with a lid, and allow the vegetables to steam for 3-4 minutes until the green beans are just tender but still crisp.
Return the steak to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Stir everything together and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the meat and vegetables evenly.
If using, sprinkle in red chili flakes for a touch of heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve immediately as is or over a bed of steamed rice for a complete meal.
