Slice the two rib eye steaks into small strips.

Marinate the beef with 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon duck fat, and 1 to 2 tablespoons honey. Add 1 tablespoon baking powder and mix well.

Set the marinated beef aside.

In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce, 1 heaping tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 3 tablespoons water, 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Set the sauce aside.

Heat vegetable oil in a wok over medium heat.

Carefully place the marinated beef into the wok and sear for about 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the beef and set it aside.

In the same wok, add 1 tablespoon of garlic, 2 chopped bell peppers, and 1 small chopped onion. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender but not mushy.

Add the cooked beef back into the wok with the vegetables.

Pour the prepared sauce around the rim of the wok and stir to combine. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 2 to 5 minutes.

Plate the pepper steak and serve.
