Flank Steak with Onions & Peppers Stir-fry Recipe

I recently purchased a bag of bell peppers from Costco just for the hell of it. You guessed it, it’s the large pack of 6, constituting 2 yellow, 2 orange and 2 red peppers. I don’t even cook with them very often, but figured seeing the colors each time I open my fridge would inspire me to concoct something creative with them. Welp, after seeing some signs of aging on these beautiful creatures today, it was established that nothing creative is coming out of them any time soon, as long as they are still in my hands. Therefore, I’m going to cook my usual stir-fry with steak, onions, and bell peppers instead 😛. Check out my recipe below and if you’ve tried & enjoyed it, please leave me a comment and tag me @rackoflam!
