Ingredients
beef ribeye or flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
300g

2
green bell pepper
1
cornstarch
1 tablespoon
vegetable oil
3 tablespoons
ginger powder
1/2 teaspoon
garlic, minced
2 cloves
salt
1/2 teaspoon
black pepper
1/4 teaspoon
chicken powder
1/4 teaspoon
light soy sauce
1 tablespoon

1 tablespoon
Instructions
1
Marinate the beef
Place sliced beef in a bowl. Add ginger powder, salt, black pepper, chicken powder, cooking wine, and cornstarch. Mix well until the liquid is absorbed. Let sit for 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
2
Prep the vegetables
Trim celery and cut into diagonal pieces about 2 inches long. Remove seeds from bell pepper and slice into thin strips. Have garlic ready nearby.
3
Stir-fry the beef
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wok over high heat until smoking. Add beef in a single layer and let it sear for 30 seconds before stirring. Cook until just browned but still slightly pink inside, about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
4
Cook the vegetables
Add remaining oil to the wok. Stir-fry garlic for 10 seconds until fragrant. Add celery and bell pepper, stirring constantly for 2 minutes until they become tender-crisp.
5
Combine and finish
Return beef to the wok. Add soy sauce and toss everything together over high heat for 1 minute until well combined and heated through. Serve immediately over steamed rice.
