Ingredients
Scale

- 1 cup bell peppers (mixed red and green), sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets, fresh or frozen
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions
- Gather all ingredients. Slice the beef flank steak thinly against the grain for tenderness. Chop bell peppers and broccoli into bite-sized pieces, and mince the garlic.
- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Mix until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat with a splash of oil. Add beef slices once hot. Cook until browned on all sides, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add bell peppers and broccoli to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3 to 5 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
- Pour in the prepared sauce and stir everything together for about 2 minutes until well coated and slightly thickened.
- Transfer to plates or serve directly from the pan. Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired. Enjoy over steamed rice or crispy noodles.
