- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
For the sauce:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

Instructions
- Season the beef with salt and pepper. Place the sliced beef, cornstarch, and rice wine vinegar in a large bowl and let sit while you make the sauce.
- To make the sauce, combine the soy sauce, beef broth, rice wine vinegar, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, chili garlic sauce, hoisin sauce, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Whisk until well combined.
- In a large wok or sauté pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Cook the beef in two batches, browning on each side for about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
- Add the red bell pepper, carrot, and snow peas to the hot pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in the sauce and add the beef. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Add the green onions.
