Instructions
1. Marinate the steak
In a bowl, toss the thinly sliced flank steak with soy sauce and black pepper. Let it sit for at least 10–15 minutes for maximum flavor.
2. Prepare the veggies
Slice the onion and bell pepper into thin strips. If using garlic or ginger, have it minced and ready.
3. Cook the steak
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat.
Add the marinated steak and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove the steak and set aside.
4. Sauté the vegetables
In the same pan, add the onions and bell peppers. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
5. Combine & serve
Return the steak to the pan and mix well with the vegetables.
If you want a slightly thickened sauce, mix cornstarch with water and pour over the steak, cooking for another minute.
Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
