Steps

Toss the sliced flank steak with three tablespoons soy sauce, one tablespoon cornstarch, one teaspoon chili sauce, sesame oil, and garlic powder, then marinate for 20 minutes.
Whisk the broth, oyster sauce, remaining soy sauce, brown sugar, remaining chili sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and pepper in a small bowl.
Slice the peppers and onion, and mince the ginger and garlic.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then stir-fry the steak in batches for 3 to 4 minutes per batch until it reaches 145 F.
Transfer the steak to a plate, add the ginger and garlic to the skillet, and cook for 1 minute.
Add the peppers and onion, then stir-fry for 6 to 8 minutes until crisp-tender.
Return the steak, pour in the sauce, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until thickened and bubbling.
