1 onion
1 C. tablespoon of butter
1/2 red pepper
1/2 green pepper

1 large clove of garlic or 2 small
1 C. teaspoon of salt
1 C. teaspoon of sugar
1/2 tsp. teaspoon black pepper
1/4 tsp. teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 C. tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp. tablespoon of olive oil
1 C. tbsp chili sauce
Instructions :
Prepare the Beef:
Cut the beef into thin slices against the grain. Place the beef slices in a bowl and sprinkle with baking soda. Mix well to evenly coat the beef. Let it sit for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Prepare the Sauce:
In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, salt, sugar, black pepper, red pepper flakes, balsamic vinegar, olive oil and chili sauce. Set aside.
Jump :
Heat the butter in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and peppers. Saute for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften. Remove from pan and set aside.
Cook the Beef:
In the same pan or wok, add the marinated beef slices. Stir-fry quickly for about 1-2 minutes until the beef is browned and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the beef.
Combine it all:
Return the cooked onion and peppers to the pan with the beef. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and vegetables. Mix well to coat everything evenly with the sauce.
Serve :
Once everything is heated and mixed well, remove from heat. Serve the tender beef immediately with rice or noodles, garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
Enjoy your food !
Note: Baking soda helps tenderize beef, making it more tender. Make sure you don't let the beef sit in the baking soda for too long, as it can affect the texture if left for an extended period of time.
