Ingredients:

For the Marinade:

¼ cup soy sauce

1 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tsp sugar

1 tbsp sesame oil

For the Stir-Fry:

1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced

2 large bell peppers (red and green), sliced

1 large onion, sliced

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tbsp ginger, minced

¼ cup beef broth

2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions:

Marinate the Steak
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, cornstarch, rice vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil.

Add the thinly sliced steak to the marinade, ensuring it’s fully coated.

Let the steak marinate for at least 30 minutes to soak up the flavors.

Stir-Fry the Steak

Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Add the marinated steak and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through.

Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the Vegetables

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil.

Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.

Combine and Heat Through

Pour in the ¼ cup beef broth and an optional 1 tbsp soy sauce for extra flavor.

Return the cooked steak to the skillet and toss everything together for 2-3 minutes until evenly coated and heated through.

Serve the sizzling pepper steak hot with steamed rice or noodles for a complete and satisfying meal.

Enjoy!
