Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided use
  • 1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into strips
  • 1 green bell pepper, with the core and seeds removed, sliced into strips
  • 1 1/4 pounds flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Heat 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the red and green bell peppers. Sa Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they start to soften. Transfer the peppers to a separate dish and set aside.
  2. Cook the Steak: In the same pan, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the thinly sliced flank steak in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the steak is browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. You might have to cook in multiple batches to prevent overcrowding the pan.
  3. Add Aromatics: Once the steak is cooked, return all the meat to the pan if you did it in batches. Add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Return the bell peppers to the pan with the steak. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the steak and peppers. Stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and evenly coats the meat and vegetables.
  6. Season and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately over rice or noodles, if desired.
