Recipe by Lindsay Funston This teriyaki beef stir-fry is incredibly easy for a busy weeknight. While flank or skirt steak would be great here, we opted for top round steak, which is nicely tender after marinating for just 30 minutes.

Ingredients

1 lb. top round steak
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 c. teriyaki sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tbsp. canola oil
2 bell peppers, diced
3 c. baby spinach

Instructions

Marinate steak: In a baking dish, add steak, season with salt and pepper, and add teriyaki sauce, garlic, ground ginger, and cayenne. Transfer to the fridge and let marinate 30 minutes.
When ready to cook, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook, undisturbed, 6 minutes, then flip and cook 4 minutes more or until steak reaches your desired doneness. Transfer to a cutting board to let rest, then slice.
Drain all but a tablespoon of fat from skillet. Add peppers and cook until soft, 4 minutes, then return steak to skillet and add spinach, tossing until wilted.
