Ingredients

• 1 pound flank steak
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1 yellow bell pepper
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece ginger root
• 2 green onions
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the flank steak. Slice it thinly against the grain into strips about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine the sliced beef, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the beef evenly and set aside to marinate while preparing other ingredients.

Step 3

Wash and slice the bell peppers into thin strips, discarding the seeds and stem.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves and ginger. Slice the green onions, separating the white and green parts.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over high heat. Once hot, add the beef in a single layer, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until browned. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 6

Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

Step 7

In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add minced garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the sliced bell peppers to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until they begin to soften.

Step 9

Return the beef to the pan, add the red chili flakes, salt, black pepper, and sesame oil. Stir everything together, ensuring the beef and vegetables are coated with sauce.

Step 10

Continue to stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes until the beef is heated through and the peppers are tender-crisp.

Step 11

Garnish with the green parts of the sliced green onions before serving.

Step 12

Serve the beef stir-fry hot over steamed rice or noodles.
