Instructions
- Prepare the beef by cutting it into even strips (3 inches long and ½ to 1 inch thick). Season it with pepper, fine salt, and half of the garlic.
- Over medium-high heat, pour the olive oil into a large skillet and sauté the red, green, and yellow bell peppers until they become soft. Put them on a small plate to set aside.
- In the same skillet, brown the beef strips in two batches and put them aside.
- Sauté the onion for a few minutes and add the remaining garlic. Stir them for a minute and move them to a separate plate.
- Put the beef broth, hot pepper sauce, soy sauce, black pepper, and sugar in the skillet. Slightly heat up and wait for it to deglaze. Then, add the browned beef strips, garlic, and white onion. Let them simmer for 30 minutes.

Notes
- Remove any white bits from the bell peppers because they can be bitter.
- Ensure to slice the beef thinly and as evenly as possible. It must be sliced against and perpendicular to the grain.
- Brown the beef strips in batches to prevent overcrowding in the skillet. This technique will reduce the cooking time and give the meat a great sear.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning perfectly because it will affect the entire dish. Do this step once the sauce thickens and after you add the beef strips to the skillet.
