I wanted to make this a quick one-pot meal, so I loaded this up with veggies and skipped the rice. More steak recipes you might enjoy are Grilled Balsamic Steak with Tomatoes and Arugula, Steak Kebabs with Chimichurri, or also Carne Asada Steak Salad.

This recipe is adapted this from Jackie Ourman’s recipe with some changes. I reduced the oil, added more veggies and changed the sauce because I wanted that salty, sweet, sour and spicy flavor combination. To do that I cut back on the ponzu, (I use Eden) which was pretty vinegary, and added soy sauce and oyster sauce for sweetness. If you don’t have oyster sauce you can substitute it with more soy sauce and some honey or sugar. To give it some heat, I used chili sesame oil which gives it great flavor. If you don’t have that you can use regular sesame oil and add some red chili flakes to the stir-fry. Since it was just me and my husband eating, I made this for two. However, you can easily double this for 4!
