  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, minced

  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 cup beef broth or water

  2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Sear beef for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.

Notes
