   +++++ Remove membrane from flank steak.  If it is a thick slab of
   meat, slice with grain into thin sheet about 1/4 thick.  Slice across
   grain into matchsticks about 2 1/2 long.  Halve and core bell pepper;
   scald pepper halves until color turns bright green; plunge in cold
   water to stop cooking process.  Slice pepper thinly to match cooked
   meat.  Peel and quarter garlic clove; add to peanut oil.  Mix sauce
   ingredients. Stir-frying:  Heat wok as hot as possible.  Add garlic
   and 1/2 the oil; stir; remove garlic when it browns.  Add salt to oil;
   stir.  Add half of flank steak; toss and stir briskly to coat with oil
   and prevent scorching of   meat.  When meat begins to shrivel, remove
   to platter. Rinse wok; reheat; add rest of oil.  Stir-fry remaining
   meat.  Add peppers, sauce, other beef; toss briskly for about 1 minute
   until sauce evaporates.  Serve. Garnishing note:  Time and inclination
   permitting, deep-fry about 12 shrimp chips.  Arrange on serving
   platter around beef and peppers.
