instructions
    1

    Begin by cutting the beef into thin strips against the grain and marinate it with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Let this sit for about 10 minutes.

    2

    While the beef is marinating, wash and slice the bell peppers into strips and mince the garlic and ginger.

    3

    Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

    4

    Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until browned.

    5

    Next, add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    6

    Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.

    7

    In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of water, then pour this over the stir-fry.

    8

    Stir everything together and cook for another 1-2 minutes, making sure the beef and vegetables are well coated with the sauce.

    Remove from heat and serve hot.
