Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
• 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger 
• 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized strips
• 2 green bell peppers, cut into strips
• 1 onion, cut into strips
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (for a gluten-free dinner use gluten-free Worcestershire sauce or tamari)
• 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce

Here's how to make it: 

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a skillet or wok over high medium-heat. Add the ginger and cook for 30 seconds. Add the steak and cook until brown and beginning to get crispy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove steak and set aside. You could also use flank steak or your favorite cut of beef for this recipe.
2. Heat the remaining olive oil and add the peppers and onions. Cook until they begin to brown, about 3 minutes. Remove and set aside with the steak. Try using green onions instead of regular white or yellow onions.
3. Turn the heat down to medium-low. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds. Pour in the apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon, Worcestershire sauce and hoisin sauce. Cook about 3 to 4 minutes. Return the steak, onions and peppers to the pan. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Heat through and serve. Add some crushed red pepper flakes for a little kick. Store any leftovers in an airtight container. Reheat in the microwave.
