Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup water

• 1/4 cup Asian sweet chili sauce

• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce

• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

• 12oz flank steak, trimmed and sliced thin against grain

• 6oz broccoli florets, cut into 1-inch pieces

• 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 2-inch-long matchsticks

• 2 scallions, white part minced, green parts sliced thin

Instructions

1. Whisk 1/4 cup water, chili sauce, oyster sauce, and 1 tablespoon oil together in small bowl. Measure 1 tablespoon sauce into medium bowl, then stir in beef and remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Cover and marinate beef in refrigerator for at least 10 minutes or up to 30 minutes.

2. Cook broccoli, bell pepper, and remaining 1/4 cup water, covered, in 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat until water is boiling, and vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook until water has evaporated, and vegetables are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes, transfer to bowl.

3. Return now-empty skillet to high heat. Add beef, break up any clumps, and cook until lightly browned on all sides and liquid evaporated, about 6 minutes. Push beef to sides of skillet. Add scallion whites and cook, mashing whites into skillet, until fragrant, 15 to 30 seconds. Stir scallion whites into beef.

4. Stir in cooked vegetables. Whisk sauce to recombine, then add to skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is thickened, about 1 minute. Transfer to serving platter, sprinkle with scallion greens, and serve.
