Preparation

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, orange juice, garlic powder, black pepper, and sugar; mix until sugar is dissolved. Place beef into marinade and toss to coat. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight. Reserve 2/3 cup of marinade and discard remaining marinade.

Coat a medium-sized skillet or a wok with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Cook meat 8 to 10 minutes or until browned, stirring frequently.

Add bell peppers and shallots and cook an additional 4 to 6 minutes, or until peppers are just tender.

Reduce heat to medium. Add cornstarch to reserved marinade; mix well and slowly add to skillet. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook about 2 minutes, or until liquid thickens and turns glossy.
