Step 1

Season beef with salt and pepper, and about half of the garlic.

Step 2

Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Brown the meat in 2 batches, then plate it out.

Step 3

In the same pan, sauté onion for couple of minutes. Add in the rest of the garlic and stir for a minute.

Step 4

Add in beef broth, soy sauce, sugar and hot sauce, then stir to deglaze the pan.

Step 5

Add browned beef along with tomatoes. Stir, bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium low. Cover and simmer for one hour, or until the beef is tender. Stir the mixture every now and then. If the sauce is drying up, you can add in 1/2 cup water.

Step 6

Add in bell peppers and cook for 8- 10 minutes, or until they are cooked to your desired tenderness.

Step 7

Serve immediately over rice or noodles.
