Preparation
Step 1
Combine the sliced skirt steak, garlic, ginger, apple, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and half of the scallion in a medium bowl. Mix with your hands to distribute all the seasonings. Let the meat marinate for about 30 minutes.
Step 2
While the meat is marinating, prepare the peppers, slicing them into long strips about 1/4 inch wide.
Step 3
Heat a large cast iron skillet or wok over medium high heat. Add 1 Tbsp oil and let it warm for a few seconds. When the oil is shimmering, add the sliced peppers. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, toss with tongs, and continue cooking until the vegetables are hot, but still very crisp, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a plate and set aside.
Step 4
Place the skillet back over medium high heat and add 1 Tbsp of oil. When the oil is shimmering, add about half** of the marinated beef to the skillet. Spread it across the skillet in a single layer and allow it to cook for about 1 minute. Use tongs to flip it and continue cooking, for about 30-60 seconds longer. The meat should be browned on each side. Repeat this process until all the meat is cooked (this will depend on the size of the skillet).
Step 5
When all the meat has finished cooking, add everything together in the skillet again just to heat through.
Step 6
Serve with choice of sides.

Notes
*Slicing the steak against the grain is very important, because it results in perfectly tender pieces of beef.
** Don’t try to rush and cook all the beef at once. If you crowd the skillet with the beef, it will just boil in its juices and it won’t sear the strips or brown the meat.
