Pepper Beef (or chicken)

3/4 lb flank steak (or any thin meat that's cheap, or chicken)

2 Tbs soy sauce
1 Tbs chinese rice wine, rice vinegar...something like that
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp pepper
2 Tbs canola oil, divided
1 cup vertically sliced yellow onion
1 1/2 Tbs minced garlic (or if you like garlic...a whole bunch of garlic)
1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper (about 1 pepper)
1 cup thinly sliced green pepper (about 1 pepper)
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups hot cooked short grain rice.

Cut steak or chicken into small strips. Combine meat pieces, soy sauce, vinegar/wine, sugar, and black pepper

Heat a wok or big frying pan over high heat.  Add to Tbs oil to pan.  Add onion and garlic to pan, cook until onion begins to brown.  Add bell peppers, cook until crisp tender.  Spoon bell pepper mixture into large bowl

Add 1 1/2 tsp oil to pan, add half of chicken or steak to pan.  Cook until browned.  Add to bowl of onions and peppers.  Repeat with remaining 1 1/2 tsp oil and remaining meat or chicken.  Put everything (onions/peppers/rest of meat) back in pan and sprinkle with salt, stir fry 1 minute or until heated through.  Serve over rice

4 servings...or two if you're pigs like us.

this sounds really good too! I bet it would also be really good with Thai style rice noodles...
