Ingredients

1 lb flank steak
1 red bell pepper diced, optional
1 yellow bell pepper diced, optional
1 teaspoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil

Beef marinade:

1 tablespoon regular soy sauce
1 ½ tablespoon cornstarch
2 cloves garlic minced
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 tbsp vegetable oil or any neutral oil

Satay Sauce:

3 tablespoon peanut butter smooth kind
3 tablespoon regular soy sauce
3 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoon lemongrass finely minced
1 shallot minced
1 clove garlic minced
½ teaspoon ginger powder
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon red chili pepper finely minced

Instructions

First thinly slice flank steak on an angle against the grain into ¼-inch thick pieces. Transfer beef to a large bowl. Tip: if you freeze the steak for 45-60 minutes exposed to the cold air, this will allow you to slice the steak very thinly.
Then marinate beef slices with marinade ingredients as listed and mix well. Let this marinate for at least 15 minutes as you work on the other ingredients.
In a blender or food processor, place satay sauce ingredients and blend until smooth. Set aside.
Then heat vegetable oil in a large pan on medium heat, fry marinated beef. Fry until the edges are brown and the meat is 50-60% cooked, about 5 minutes.
Optional: Toss in your chopped bell peppers here and fry for 2 minutes.
When the beef is 75% cooked, pour in your satay sauce and mix. Cook for 1-2 minutes until beef
