Method

Cut the steak into thin strips. Place in a shallow bowl and season with garlic, ginger, soy sauce and sugar. Mix well and set aside.
Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan until hot then stir fry the pepper pieces for 3-4 mins until beginning to soften. Remove from the wok using a draining spoon and set aside.
Reheat the wok or pan and stir fry the beef mixture for 2-3 mins. Add the spring onions and continue to stir fry the mixture for a further 1 mins, then return the pepper to the wok or pan and stir fry for a further 1-2 mins until hot and tender.
Serve immediately with rice as an accompaniment.
