Steps:
- Slice the steak into 1/2-inch thick slices across the grain.
- Whisk together soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and ginger in a bowl until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Place the steak slices into the marinade, and stir until well-coated.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, and place 1/3 of the steak strips into the hot oil. Cook and stir until the beef is well-browned, about 3 minutes, and remove the beef from the wok to a bowl. Repeat twice more, with the remaining beef, and set the cooked beef aside.
- Return all the cooked beef to the hot wok, and stir in the onion. Toss the beef and onion together until the onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes, then stir in the green pepper. Cook and stir the mixture until the pepper has turned bright green and started to become tender, about 2 minutes, then add the tomatoes, stir everything together, and serve.

Steps:
- Core and remove the seeds from the red and green peppers. Cut peppers into thin strips about 1 1/2 inches long.
- Slice the meat across the grain into thin strips 1 1/2 to 2 inches long. Place in a bowl and add the cornstarch, soy sauce and pepper flakes and 2 tablespoons of the oil. (The oil keeps the meat from sticking together while cooking.) Blend well and let stand 15 minutes.
- Heat the remaining oil in a wok or skillet large enough to hold the ingredients. When the oil is very hot add the meat and cook, stirring, about 30 seconds until separated. Drain the meat in a sieve over a bowl to catch the drippings and reserve the oil.
- Wipe out the wok and return 2 tablespoons of the oil to it. Heat the oil and add the peppers, scallions and garlic. Cook over high heat until crisp and tender, about 1 minute. Add the sugar, wine, chicken broth and salt if desired. Add the beef and cook quickly, stirring, until just heated through. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Make the marinade. In a large bowl, whisk together all the marinade ingredients except the London broil. Then add the London broil and set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Make the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Make the bean paste. In a large bowl, combine the garlic and black beans. Carefully grip the back of a cleaver and, using the handle like a pestle, work the garlic and beans into a smooth paste. Set aside.
- Make the stir-fry. In large wok, over high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. When the oil is smoking, add ginger and cook, stirring, until light brown, about 20 seconds. Add peppers and cook, stirring, until slightly tender, about 1 minute more. Transfer peppers to a bowl and set aside. Wipe out the wok, add the 2 remaining tablespoons oil and return it to the heat. When the oil is smoking, add the bean paste and cook, stirring, until light brown, about 20 seconds. Add the beef with the marinade, spread into an even layer and cook, tipping the wok back and forth, 1 minute. Turn the beef over and cook until brown, about 30 seconds more. Add the peppers and cook, stirring, until very tender, about 2 minutes. Push beef and peppers to the sides of the wok to form a well in the center. Pour the sauce mixture into the well and cook, stirring, until the liquid thickens and turns dark brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter and serve with rice.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Flank steak, skirt steak, or sirloin steak are good options for this recipe. These cuts are relatively thin and cook quickly, making them perfect for stir-fries.
- Slice the beef thinly against the grain: This will help the beef cook evenly and tenderize it.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch will help to flavor and tenderize it.
- Use a hot wok or skillet: This will help to sear the beef and prevent it from sticking.
- Cook the beef in batches: Do not overcrowd the wok or skillet, or the beef will not cook evenly.
- Stir-fry the beef for a short amount of time: Overcooking the beef will make it tough.
- Add the peppers and other vegetables towards the end of cooking: This will help to prevent them from overcooking.
- Season the dish with soy sauce, rice wine, and sesame oil to taste: You may also want to add a pinch of sugar or red pepper flakes.
Conclusion:
This Chinese beef and peppers recipe is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The beef is tender and juicy, the peppers are crisp and colorful, and the sauce is savory and slightly sweet. Serve this dish over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
