Ingredients
Marinade:
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons mirin
6 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon dried chili peppers
2 tablespoons chopped fresh lemongrass
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

1/2 pound flank steak, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices against the grain

Other Ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus 3 tablespoons
2 tablespoons Chinese black bean sauce
1 green pepper, stemmed, cored, and julienned
1 yellow pepper, stemmed, cored, and julienned
1 red pepper, stemmed, cored, and julienned
Crushed garlic, in the skin
I pack dry Chinese curly egg noodles, boiled according to the package directions
1 small bok choy cut into 1/2-inch slices

Instructions
Combine the marinade ingredients in a medium sized

bowl, and soak the flank steak in the marinade for 1 hour.

In a hot wok over the highest heat, add 3 tablespoons of the oil and black bean
sauce. Using the Chinese ladle, spread the bean sauce in the wok until nice
roasted smell comes out. Add the beef and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Do not over
cook! Remove the beef and set aside.

To the wok, add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil, the peppers, and the crushed
garlic. Add the boiled noodles and the marinade for the beef and cook for 2
minutes. Add the bok choy and cook until wilted. Add the reserved beef and toss
until heated through. Serve.
