Instructions

1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, toss 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak with 1 tbsp cornstarch, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp water; set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef strips and stir fry for 3-4 minutes until browned but still tender; remove beef and set aside.

4. Step 4: Add 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 large sliced red bell pepper, and 1 julienned carrot to the pan. Stir fry for 5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
5. Step 5: Return the beef to the pan along with 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes if using. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the ingredients.
