Ingredients

1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 1/4 lbs flank steak cut across the grain into thin strips
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium yellow onion thinly sliced
2 medium red peppers seeded and thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon grated or minced fresh ginger
fresh cilantro
2 cups cooked rice for serving

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the rice vinegar, soy sauce, orange zest, sugar and 1 teaspoon of the cornstarch. Set aside.
Place the steak in another bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and stir to coat the meat.
In a large wok or skillet, heat the oil over high. Add the steak, working in batches if needed, and stir fry until browned but just short of being cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer the meat to a plate, then add in the onion, peppers, garlic and ginger. Stir fry until the vegetables are just tender about 5 minutes. Add the steak back into the vegetables and cook for an additional minute.
Pour the sauce mixture over the meat and vegetables and cook until it has thickened, 2-3 minutes.
Garnish the stir fry with cilantro and serve over rice.
