Ingredients:
For the Beef:
1 lb (450g) beef flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain 
1/4 cup cornstarch 
1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying 
For the Stir-Fry:
1 red bell pepper, sliced 
1 green bell pepper, sliced 
2 cloves garlic, minced 
1-inch piece ginger, grated 
2-3 tablespoons dried red chili flakes (adjust to taste) 
For the Sauce:
1/4 cup soy sauce 
2 tablespoons rice vinegar 
2 tablespoons brown sugar 
1 tablespoon sesame oil 
For Garnish:
2 green onions, chopped
Instructions:
Prepare the Beef:
In a bowl, toss the thinly sliced beef with cornstarch until well coated. This will help create a crispy texture when frying.
Fry the Beef:
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy (about 2-3 minutes per batch). Remove the beef and drain on paper towels.
Stir-Fry the Vegetables:
In the same skillet, add the sliced red and green bell peppers, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until the peppers are tender-crisp.
Add the Chili Flakes:
Stir in the dried red chili flakes and cook for an additional minute to release their flavor.
Make the Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Pour the sauce over the stir-fried vegetables and bring to a simmer.
Combine:
Add the crispy beef back into the skillet, tossing everything together until the beef is well coated in the sauce and heated through.
Serve:
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot over rice or noodles.
