Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 wok or large frying pan
  • 1 cooking spatula
  • 1 knife and cutting board
  • 1 serving plates

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain For maximum tenderness.
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil Divided for cooking.
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper, coarsely ground
  • 2 green onions, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced flank steak, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the beef and let it marinate for about 15 minutes.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat.
  • Add the marinated beef in a single layer and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.
  • In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir in the sliced onions, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
  • Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan and stir-fry for another minute, ensuring they don't burn.
  • Return the cooked beef to the pan and sprinkle in the coarsely ground black pepper. Stir everything together for an additional 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
  • Transfer the sizzling pepper steak with onions to serving plates and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
  • For a spicier kick, you can add a few slices of fresh chili peppers or a dash of chili sauce.
  • Serve with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
