Ingredients

1 pound top round beef (sliced into strips against the grain)
2 tablespoons canola oil ( or vegetable oil)
1 large onion (thinly sliced)
1 green bell pepper (cored and sliced)
1 red bell pepper (or orange/yellow, cored and sliced)
¾ cup water
¼ cup honey ( or brown sugar)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon ginger (minced)
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

Combine all the marinade ingredients (except cornstarch) in a medium bowl and whisk.
Add the beef strips to the marinade and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours, stirring occasionally.
When ready to cook, remove beef from marinade reserving the marinade.
Heat a cast iron skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onion and peppers and stir-fry for about 5 minutes, or until tender. Transfer to a plate.
Add beef to the skillet and distribute evenly, cook for about 1 minute unmoved, to get a nice sear on it. Stir the beef and continue cooking until browned (beef doesn't have to be cooked through), about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the beef from the skillet and place on a plate with the peppers.
Whisk the cornstarch into the reserved marinade. Pour into the skillet and whisk while brining to a boil. Let boil 2 minutes.

Tips:

Slice the steak against the grain. This will help tenderize the meat and make it more flavorful.
Use a hot skillet or wok. This will help sear the steak and lock in the juices.
Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the steak will not cook evenly.
Cook the steak in batches if necessary. If you have a lot of steak to cook, cook it in batches so that you don't overcrowd the pan.
Let the steak rest before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
Serve the steak with your favorite sides. Some popular options include rice, noodles, or vegetables.
