Ingredients

• 1 lb Flank steak (or sirloin steak)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Coca Cola (regular, not diet)
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Water
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tbsp Scallions (optional, sliced thinly for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the flank steak into thin strips against the grain. Pat the pieces dry using paper towels, then season them with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Wash and core the bell peppers. Slice the red and green bell peppers into thin strips. Peel and slice the yellow onion into similar-sized strips.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together to create a slurry. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the steak strips to the hot skillet in a single layer and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet and stir in the sliced bell peppers and onions. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, combine the Coca Cola and soy sauce. Stir well, then pour the mixture into the skillet over the vegetables. Bring to a simmer.

Step 7

Return the seared steak to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables and sauce. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce has a glossy consistency.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the Coca Cola Pepper Steak to a serving platter.

Step 10

Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions, if desired. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
