Beijing Beef Recipe

Heat just enough oil in a large skillet over medium heat to cover the bottom of the pan. Once hot, add sliced steak and sauté 2 to 3 minutes until just browned. Add peppers and onions and sauté another minute or two.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together water, sugar, ketchup, vinegar, red pepper flakes, and garlic. Add to pan with the steak and peppers, and stir to coat. Cover and bring to a boil.

In a small bowl, stir together cold water and cornstarch until dissolved. Pour into pan, and cook, stirring, until thickened. Serve over cooked rice.
