Ingredients:

• 1 pound flank steak (3/4-inch thick)
• 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
• Cooked rice and sliced scallions, for serving

Directions:

1. Prepare the Steak and Sauce:
   • Place the flank steak in the freezer for about 5 minutes to firm up, making it easier to slice.
   • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, rice vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, and ground ginger until smooth and no lumps remain. Set aside.
2. Slice the Steak:
   • Remove the steak from the freezer. Cut the steak in half lengthwise, then slice across the grain into very thin slices, about 1/4-inch thick.
3. Cook the Beef:
   • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
   • Season the sliced beef with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
   • Add the beef to the skillet, spreading it into an even layer. Cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes to sear the bottom.
   • Toss and cook for an additional 3 minutes, until the beef is cooked through. Transfer the beef to a plate and set aside.
4. Cook the Bell Peppers:
   • In the same skillet, add the sliced red and green bell peppers. Cook until tender and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes.
5. Combine and Serve:
   • Return the cooked beef and any accumulated juices back to the skillet with the bell peppers.
   • Add the prepared soy sauce mixture and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes.
   • Serve the stir-fry over cooked rice and top with sliced scallions.
