Quick Beef Stir Fry with Bell Peppers

Elise Bauer

Place the steaks between two sheets of plastic wrap.

With a meat pounder, pound the steaks to a 1/4-inch thickness.

Let the steaks sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavor of the garlic.

Slice the steaks across the grain into 1/2-inch wide strips.

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet on high heat.

Remove the vegetables from the pan to a bowl and keep warm.
