Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat up a grill to medium-high heat.
Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain into bite-sized strips and set aside.
Slice the green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and yellow onion into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, black pepper, ground ginger, and cornstarch. Stir in the water to create a smooth marinade.
Add the sliced steak to the marinade, coating the meat evenly. Marinate for 10-15 minutes while preparing the vegetables.
Tear off four large sheets of aluminum foil, each about 12x18 inches in size. Lay them flat on a clean surface.
Divide the sliced peppers and onions evenly onto the center of each foil sheet. Top with an equal portion of the marinated steak strips and drizzle any remaining marinade over the contents of each packet.
Fold each aluminum foil sheet over the ingredients, sealing the edges tightly into packets. Ensure there are no gaps to prevent leakage.
Place the packets on a baking sheet if cooking in the oven or directly on the grill grates if grilling. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through if grilling, until the steak is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Carefully open the packets, being cautious of the hot steam. Serve immediately, either directly in the packets or transferred to plates. Pair with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
