I hope ya'll knew I wasn't gonna leave yall hangin on #TastyTuesday ! lol
We tried this recipe earlier in the week and it definitely tastes authentic! This is one of my mom's favorite dishes from the Chinese restaurant so I had to find out how to make it at home. It's quick and easy, the meat needs to marinate for only about 30 minutes. You can substitute the meat for a lighter fare like chicken or even vegetarian options like tofu for a very versatile and delicious dinner that can be made from scratch right quick.

1 green bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2 inch squares
4-5 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
white pepper to taste (black works too), I used about 2 1/2 tsp
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp cornstarch
3 Tbsp oil
Directions:
In a large skillet or wok heat oil over medium high heat until smoking lightly. Brown steak in oil for about 3-5 minutes, until browned on all sides. Remove from skillet and set aside.
