Directions

  1. Sprinkle cornstarch, salt, and pepper over flank steak. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.

  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak in the hot oil until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove steak from skillet using a slotted spoon.

  3. Add onion and garlic to the same skillet. Cook until onion starts to soften, about 2 minutes. Add ginger, cook until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, and hoisin sauce. Cook until sauce has thickened, 5 to 7 minutes more. Reduce heat, add green beans and bell pepper.

  4. Add steak back to the skillet, toss in the sauce until well coated. Add red pepper flakes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook and stir until stir-fry is heated through, about 5 minutes more.
