Ingredients

½ lb flank steak sliced in stripes
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
½ tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp fresh ginger chopped
½ tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp cornstarch
½ red bell pepper sliced
½ green bell pepper sliced

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the steak strips with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Mix well until combined. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
In another bowl, make the sauce for the stir-fry. Combine the remaining soy sauce, cornstarch, chopped ginger, and brown sugar. Stir well. In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil on HIGH then add the marinated steak strips. Sear the strips for 1 minute on each side until browned.
Add the sliced bell pepper to the pan and stir fry for another minute. Add the sauce and cook until reduced to half.
Transfer the beef stir-fry to plates and sprinkle with the white sesame seeds.

Notes

If your beef is tough, you probably didn't slice your beef thin enough. The thinner the slice, the more tender it will be after frying. Also, make sure to heat your pan on HIGH before adding the beef.
