1 lb. flank steak (I've also used sirloin)
2 Tbsp. Oil
3 med. carrots, thinly sliced
2 ribs celery, thinly sliced
1/2 medium red & 1/2 medium green bell pepper cut into strips
Recipe
Mix sauce ingredients; set aside.
Cut meat into strips (flank steak diagonally across grain) about 2 x 1 in. In skillet or wok, heat oil of medium-high heat. Add beef and stir constantly until browned.
With slotted spoon remove beef & set aside. Add carrots and celery and cook about 2 min. until crisp tender. Add red and green pepper (or just one kind) and cook another 1 min.
Return beef to pan and stir in reserved sauce. Cook until thickened and bubbly.
