How to cook deliciously - Quick Beef Stir-Fry with Bell Peppers

1. Stage

Season the steaks, then pound thinly: Season the steaks with salt and pepper and rub minced garlic over one side. Place the steaks between two sheets of plastic wrap. With a meat pounder, pound the steaks to a 1/4-inch thickness. Let the steaks sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavor of the garlic.

Cut the steaks: Slice the steaks across the grain into 1/2-inch wide strips.

Sauté the onions and peppers: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet on high heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, cook, stirring, until just barely tender, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the pan to a bowl and keep warm.

4. Stage

Sauté the beef strips: Heat an additional tablespoon of oil in the skillet on high heat, until the oil is shimmering, but not smoking. Add the strips of beef let the beef brown initially, without stirring, As soon as it is brown on one side, begin to stir. Cook for no more than a minute (for medium-rare).

5. Stage

Add the vegetables and finish: Add the peppers, onions, tomatoes, cilantro, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the pan. Cook for a half minute longer, stirring. Remove from heat.
