Step 1
Stir together soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Add beef in a single layer and sear without stirring for 90 seconds until edges turn golden. Flip and cook 60 seconds more. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Add peppers and onion to the same skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened and edges char, about 4 minutes.
Step 5
Pour the sauce over the vegetables, then return the beef and any juices to the skillet. Toss constantly for 1 minute until glossy.
Step 6
Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles if desired.
