Ingredients

1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 cup snap peas
4 green onions, sliced
4 cups mixed greens
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup chopped peanuts

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add steak slices and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove steak from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add garlic and ginger. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add bell peppers, snap peas, and green onions to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the steak to the skillet and pour the sauce mixture over the ingredients. Stir well to coat everything in the sauce.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened and everything is heated through.
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cilantro, and chopped peanuts.
Pour the warm steak and vegetable mixture over the salad greens.
Toss well to distribute the ingredients evenly and coat them with the dressing.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
