Easy Steak and Peppers

*Easy Steak and Peppers*
Serves 4

Quick and easy to make.   Deliciously colourful.   Simple flavours.  We like it with rice. It goes together really quickly once you have all of the vegetables and the meat sliced.

3 TBS of sunflower oil, divided
1 large spanish onion, peeled, cut in half and thinly sliced into half moons
2 each red, yellow and orange sweet bell peppers, trimmed and sliced thinly
3 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced into half moons
1 pound of flank steak, sliced thinly across the grain (It helps if it is slightly frozen when you slice it)
salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 TBS Kejap Manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce)
(alternately you can use tamari sauce)

Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.   Add the onions and a bit of salt.   Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are softened and translucent.   Scoop out into a bowl.  Set aside.   Add another tablespoon of the oil over high heat.   Toss inthe steak and brown quickly  (I do this in batches, scooping it out to the bowl as it is done.)  Add the last tablespoon of oil and add the peppers and shallots.    Cook over medium heat until the peppers and shallots have softened.  I like for them to brown a bit in places.   Add the beef and onions back to the pan, tossing all together.   Add the Kejap Manis and garlic powder.   Toss together, mixing thoroughly.   Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes to meld flavours. Taste and adjust seasoning as required.   Serve immediately.
