Wok-Fried Pepper Steak
1/2 pound skirt or flank steak
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 medium size green bell pepper, (about 1 1/2 cups sliced)
1 medium size red or yellow bell pepper, (about 1 1/2 cups sliced)
1/4 pound mushrooms, sliced, (about 2 cups)
Vegetable oil spray
2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
4 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 cup dry sherry

Remove visible fat from meat. Cut across the grain into 1/2-inch slices. Mix cornstarch and soy sauce together. Place meat in soy sauce mixture, making sure it is completely covered. Wash, seed and slice bell peppers, about 1/2-inch thick. Spray wok or skillet with vegetable oil spray. Heat wok and add ginger and garlic. When wok is smoking, add meat and stir-fry 1 minute. Remove to a plate. Spray wok again and add peppers and mushrooms. Stir-fry 2 minutes. Return meat to pan and add sherry and broth. Stir-fry 3 minutes. Remove from pan to a serving bowl.
