++++ +++++ Remove membrane from flank steak. If it is a thick
slab of meat, slice with grain into thin sheet about 1/4″ thick. Slice
across grain into matchsticks about 2 1/2″ long. Halve and core bell
pepper; scald pepper halves until color turns bright green; plunge in cold
water to stop cooking process. Slice pepper thinly to match cooked meat.
Peel and quarter garlic clove; add to peanut oil. Mix sauce ingredients.
Stir-frying: Heat wok as hot as possible. Add garlic and 1/2 the oil;
stir; remove garlic when it browns. Add salt to oil; stir. Add half of
flank steak; toss and stir briskly to coat with oil and prevent scorching
of meat. When meat begins to shrivel, remove to platter. Rinse wok;
reheat; add rest of oil. Stir-fry remaining meat. Add peppers, sauce,
other beef; toss briskly for about 1 minute until sauce evaporates. Serve.
Garnishing note: Time and inclination permitting, deep-fry about 12 shrimp
chips. Arrange on serving platter around beef and peppers.
