In a shallow non-metal dish, combine 1 tablespoon peanut oil, soy sauce, sherry, water, cornstarch, sugar, and crushed garlic. Mix well to dissolve cornstarch and sugar.

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a wok or large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add the red and yellow pepper strips, onion, and mushrooms to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
-
Remove the vegetables from the wok and set aside on a plate.
-
Add the marinated beef and its marinade to the hot wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the beef is no longer pink and the sauce has thickened.

Note
For best results, slice the beef against the grain to ensure tenderness. You can partially freeze the steak for 30 minutes to make slicing easier.
If dry sherry is unavailable, you can substitute with dry white wine or a splash of rice vinegar mixed with a little water.
To make this dish gluten-free, ensure you use tamari instead of regular soy sauce.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet to maintain texture.
Feel free to add other vegetables like broccoli florets or snap peas for extra nutrition and color.
