1 1/4 pounds flank steak, thinly sliced across the grain
1 1/2 cups brown rice
10 ounces green beans, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
4 scallions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided, plus black pepper

Instructions

Cook 1 1/2 cups brown rice according to package directions. Keep warm, fluffing or separating it before serving. Combine 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper into a smooth sauce.
Pat 1 1/4 pounds flank steak, thinly sliced across the grain dry, then season with half of 1 teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the main ingredient until it is browned outside and still tender; transfer to a plate.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 10 ounces green beans, cut into 2-inch pieces and 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced. Cook until crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Return the main ingredient, add the sauce, and simmer 1 to 2 minutes until glossy.
Season with the remaining salt and pepper. Divide the prepared base among four plates, add Black pepper beef with green beans. Finish with 4 scallions, thinly sliced.

This recipe applies that pattern through Kwilt-authored ingredients and method: Build an original Chinese-inspired weeknight composition around the meal-kit virtues the user requested—clear choices, colorful produce, a distinctive sauce, and a 35-to-40-minute path—without reproducing Green Chef or Blue Apron recipe text.
