Thinly slice the beef flank steak against the grain into strips about 1/4 inch thick and set aside.
Core and thinly slice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into strips and set aside.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves and ginger. Chop the green onions into small pieces, separating the white parts from the green tops.
In a bowl, mix the coconut aminos, minced garlic, and ginger to create the stir-fry sauce.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef in a single layer and season with salt and black pepper.
Stir-fry the beef for about 4-5 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the bell peppers and the white parts of the green onions.
Stir-fry the peppers for about 3-4 minutes until they are crisp-tender.
Return the beef to the skillet with the bell peppers, pour the stir-fry sauce over the mixture, and toss everything to combine well.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes while stirring, until the sauce slightly thickens and coats the beef and peppers.
Remove from heat, garnish with the green tops of the green onions, and serve immediately.
