* Cutting against the grain, slice flank steak into strips about 2 inches long by 1/4 inch wide. (slightly frozen meat makes this task easier - FHT). Combine batter ingredients and mix with steak slices; toss to coat and set aside.
* Cut up green and red peppers into same size strips and mix with garlic and ginger.
* Combine sauce ingredients and set aside.
* To cook Ginger Fried Beef, put 10 cups of cooking oil into a deep fryer or pot and preheat to 250 F. Fry coated meat mixture, a few pieces at a time, until crispy, about seven to ten minutes. Set meat aside on paper towel to drain and keep oil at the same temperature for second stage frying.
* Put 3 Tbsp cooking oil in wok and heat. Add green and red pepper mixture and stir-fry over high heat 15 to 20 seconds. Add sauce mixture and cook another 15 to 20 seconds until somewhat thickened.
* Cooking times may be a little longer on a conventional stove.
* Deep fry beef a second time for one minute. Remove from oil and add to stir fry; toss lightly to coat thoroughly and serve.
