- kosher salt, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil or neutral-flavored oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

Directions
Step 1 -Season the steak with the salt and the black pepper.
Step 2 -In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of the oil.
Step 3 -Add the steak slices to the hot oil and cook, while stirring frequently, until the steak is browned but not fully cooked, about 2 minutes.
Step 4 -In a medium bowl, add the browned steak slices, the soy sauce, the rice wine vinegar, and the crushed red pepper flakes and toss well to combine.
Step 5 -In the same skillet over medium heat, add the remaining oil.
Step 6 -Add the red bell peppers, the yellow bell peppers, the green bell peppers, and the orange bell peppers to the hot oil in an even layer and cook, while tossing occasionally, until just tender, about 4 minutes.
Step 7 -Push the pepper mixture to one side of the skillet.
Step 8 -Add the steak slices to the empty side of the skillet and cook, while stirring the steak and the pepper mixture separately, until the steak slices reach an internal temperature of at least 135 degrees F for a medium-rare doneness, about 2 minutes.
Step 9 -Add the garlic to the pepper mixture and cook, while stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 10 -Plate the steak and the peppers over the rice.
Step 11 -Garnish with the scallions and the sesame seeds and serve.
