Preparation
Step 1
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok or large sauté pan over high heat.
Step 2
Add steak and sauté for 4-5 minutes, tossing occasionally, until cooked through. Transfer steak to a clean plate and set aside.
Step 3
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan, along with the onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, tossing occasionally, until cooked by still slightly crispy. (I don’t like my veggies to be too soft in a stir-fry.) Add garlic and sauté for 1 more minute, or until fragrant.
Step 4
Reduce heat to medium. Add the steak and Szechuan sauce to the veggies, and toss to combine for about 30 seconds, or until the sauce thickens up.
Step 5
Remove from heat and serve immediately over rice or noodles, sprinkled with your desired toppings.
Step 6
