Tips
- Slice the beef against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Freeze the beef for 20 minutes before slicing for thinner, cleaner cuts.
- Don't overcook the bell peppers—they should stay slightly crisp.
- Use freshly grated ginger for the best flavor.
- Serve immediately while the sauce is hot and glossy.
- Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
