Step 7: Repeat the process to the other half of the beef.

Step 8: In the same skillet, add vegetable oil again.

Step 9: Add the onions, bell pepper, and black pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until translucent.

Step 10: Turn the heat down to medium, then add the ginger, garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for about a minute or until aromatic.
