My dear friend recently underwent an unexpected quadruple bypass and I’ve been bringing him food from time to time.  Thank goodness he’s not on a special cardiac diet, so I can make him food he loves like this!  It was actually kind of weird because he had ZERO of the symptoms normally associated with needing that surgery, nor a family history of heart disease.  But thank goodness he’s on a healthy road to a quick recovery.  Hallelujah!  

Helpful Hint for Slicing the Beef:

Place thawed beef in the freezer for about 10 minutes before slicing so it will firm up a bit… this makes it so much easier to slice!

Hooray for 30-minute meals… ENJOY!

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, corn starch and ground ginger.  Add steak slices.  Stir with a large spoon to coat steak evenly.  Cover and allow to marinate.
2. Heat 1-1/2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.  Add peppers and onions and cook for 3-4 minutes, or just until tender (stirring frequently).  Add garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring frequently.
3. Transfer to a medium bowl and return skillet to burner.
4. Heat remaining vegetable oil in the skillet.  Add steak and cook steak for 5-6 minutes, or until browned on all sides and fully cooked (stirring frequently).
5. Return peppers, onions and garlic to skillet and stir to combine.  Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until heated thoroughly.
6. Serve over hot cooked rice and garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.
