Steps:

• 1. NOTE: I cooked my steak and onions and then bell peppers in batches as not to overload my soup pot. You want to slightly brown your peppers while cooking them quickly so that they hold their texture, if you overload the pot, they will get mushy before they get slightly caramelized. I season my peppers each time I place a batch in the soup pot with granulated garlic and Mrs. Dash.
• 2. Slice beef and onions into strips then into bite size pcs. Place in a large soup pot with a little olive oil on high heat and begin to brown stirring often.

• 3. While meat is cooking slice bell peppers and cut into same size as you did steak and onion. Once you have removed steak from pot add a little more olive oil, a couple handfuls of peppers. Season with a little granulated garlic and Mrs. Dash and stir OFTEN to slightly brown, remove from pot and repeat until all peppers are slightly cooked.

To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally; add water if necessary.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high. In a small bowl, combine cumin, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice blend over all of the steak pieces along with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Let rest at room temperature, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large pot, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and heat over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until tender, about 4 minutes.

Steps:

• Freeze the flank steak until the meat is slightly frozen and firm enough to thinly slice with ease, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Finely grate 2 cloves of the garlic into a large bowl. Peel the ginger and cut it in half. Finely grate one of the ginger halves into the same bowl; reserve the remaining ginger. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of the soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of the Shaoxing wine, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the sugar and several large grinds of pepper to combine. Set aside.
• Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain on a very slight bias into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Cut any extra-long pieces in half; the strips should be no longer than 3 to 4 inches. Add to the bowl with the marinade and stir to combine. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• About 30 minutes before finishing the dish, use tongs to transfer the steak to a large baking sheet lined with several layers of paper towels and arrange in a single layer. Lay additional paper towels on top to help absorb any excess marinade. Set aside to take the chill off the meat.
• Whisk together the beef broth, sesame oil, remaining 1/4 cup soy sauce, remaining 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar and a couple large grinds of pepper in a medium bowl; set aside.

Transfer to the plate.

Add the red and green bell peppers and cook, stirring frequently and adding another splash of water if the skillet starts to get too brown on the bottom, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
