    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.
