Instructions
For the Steak
  1. In a bowl, combine the beef with water, cornstarch, oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and baking soda. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes.
For the Sauce
  1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
To Cook
  1. Heat the pan over high heat until smoking. Add oil to coat the pan. Sear the beef on both sides, about 30 seconds per side. Remove and set aside.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium-high. Add more oil. Toss in the ginger, and caramelize for about 10 seconds. Then add the garlic, bell peppers, and onions. Stir-fry for 1 minute.
  3. Then add the beef along with any juices. Stir-fry for 15 seconds until combined. Increase the heat to high. Stir up the sauce to re-incorporate the cornstarch, and add it to the pan.
  4. Stir-fry to coat everything in the sauce, which should thicken from the cornstarch. Once the sauce is simmering and thickened to your liking, turn off the heat.
For the Fried Rice
  1. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, salt, sugar, white pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and sesame oil.
  2. Take your cooked rice and fluff it with a fork.
  3. Heat a pan over medium high heat, spread oil around and add the white portion of the green onions. Stir-fry for about 1 minute, until the onions are beginning to turn translucent. Add the button mushrooms. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the mushrooms are lightly browned and caramelized.
  4. Add the rice. Using a spatula to stir-fry it and break up any clumps.
  5. Once the rice is warmed, stir up the sauce mixture and pour it over the rice. Immediately mix with a scooping motion to evenly coat the rice. Top with green part of green onions and serve!
