Directions
1. To make the pepper steak stir-fry meal-prep: In a small bowl, whisk the garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, Sriracha, and cornstarch.
2. In a skillet over medium-high heat add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the diced bell peppers and cook 1-2 minutes until tender. Remove the bell peppers and set them aside on a plate.
3. Turn the heat to high and add the flank steak on one layer and cook on each side to sear the beef and reduce heat to medium-high and continue to cook until no longer pink and brown on each side.
4. Add the peppers back to the skillet and add the sauce. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.
5. In the meantime, steam the cauliflower rice and drain any excess water. Divide cauliflower rice in meal prep containers and top with the pepper steak stir fry. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds. Enjoy!

This was AMAZING! Made it tonight for the first time and it was both simple and delicious! I added some onion and cut the soy sauce with a little water to reduce the sodium content but it was still wonderful. Will be adding this to the recipe rotation in my household!
