Instructions
- Place steaks on cutting board, cover with plastic wrap and pound with the flat side of meat mallet to help flatten slightly and tenderize.

- In a mixing bowl whisk together chicken broth, shaoxhing wine, soy sauce, rice vinegar, granulated sugar, black pepper, sesame oil and cornstarch. Set aside.
- Preheat a 12-inch non-stick skillet over moderately high heat. Drizzle in 2 tsp vegetable oil and add half the steak quickly spreading apart into a single layer with space between pieces, lightly season with salt.

- Repeat process with 2 more teaspoons vegetable oil and remaining half of the steak.
- Add last 2 teaspoons of oil to now empty skillet and leave over moderately high heat. Add bell peppers and saute, only tossing occasionally, about 3 - 4 minutes until slightly tender.
