Add 1 T. olive oil to a medium sized skillet or wok over medium-high heat; add bell peppers; cook 1-2 minutes until tender; transfer to a plate; set aside.
Turn heat to high; add the flank steak; cook on both sides to sear; reduce heat to medium-high; cook until no longer pink and brown on each side.

*Find the direction of the grain, (which way the muscle fibers are aligned) then slice perpendicularly across it rather than parallel with it.
