Ingredients

8 garlic cloves minced

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons sesame oil

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 pound flank steak thinly sliced

1 pound fresh green beans trimmed

1 medium bell pepper cut thin strips

Preparation

In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, sugar, and black pepper; set aside.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the flank steak and stir-fry for 5 to 6 minutes, or until no pink remains, stirring frequently.

Add the soy sauce mixture, green beans, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 9 to 10 minutes, or until the green beans are crisp-tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, stirring frequently.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
