Ingredients

• 8 ounces Flank steak
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 small Yellow onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 cups Beef stock
• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons Sugar
• 2 servings Cooked white rice

Directions

Step 1

Slice the flank steak into thin strips, cutting against the grain for tenderness. Place the strips in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and the cornstarch. Mix to coat and let marinate while preparing other ingredients.

Step 2

Cut the green and red bell peppers into thin strips. Slice the onion into thin wedges. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, beef stock, oyster sauce, sugar, and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the steak strips in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the steak and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the bell peppers and onion, stirring frequently. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Return the steak to the skillet. Pour the sauce mixture over the steak and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the steak is fully cooked.

Step 8

Serve the pepper steak hot over cooked white rice. Enjoy!
