Ingredients
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (divided)
– 1 red bell pepper (cored and sliced into strips)
– 1 green bell pepper (cored and 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-First, heat 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and cook them for 3-4 minutes until they are just tender, then set them aside. This step ensures the veggies stay crisp and full of flavor.
2-Next, add the remaining vegetable oil to the pan and turn the heat to high. Season the thinly sliced flank steak with salt and pepper, then cook it for 5-6 minutes until it’s lightly browned. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds to release their aroma.
3-Now, return the peppers to the pan and mix everything together. In a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce, sugar, 1/4 cup water, and cornstarch until smooth. Pour this sauce over the meat and vegetables, letting it simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens. Serve it right away, perhaps over steamed rice for a complete dish.
